That good ole CD 5 request - Page 2

Sir ReGiN · 09-03-2002, 03:06 PM

I had the exact same problem and the easiest way to get rid of it is to follow the instructions on this site [img]smile.gif[/img]
It works perfectly for me now.

Well guys, thank you for all the helpful tips, im afraid I found out what my problem was. On attempting to copy the 4 cds to my Hard Drive a file called 'CREAnim.bif' from CD2 came up as corrupted...it was actually at this point of the regular installation that the CD5 prompt would come up too. Simply a bug due to it not finding an intact file I think. I wonder does anyone know how I could get this one file...perhaps theres somewhere I could download it from..?

Copy every file bar it; then copy it separately.

Tried it mate, a good few times...it either freezes up or tells me the file cannot be copied etc. I think my only hope is to find someone who is willing to send me this one file, I dunno how it would work tho...

it will work. Unfortunately I am at work now so no file-transfers. Rules can be soo strict... Hope someone will help you

Well if anyone would it'd be greatly appreciated. I was about to install The Darkest Day mod for the first time until this problem came up. If theres anyone willing to help please either leave a message here. The file I need is not that big either so it shouldnt take long. Thanks guys!

Have you tried running setup after you get the Cannot Copy File ??
Sometimes these files aren`t actually necesary for the game to run; it might just be a little slower or have some small details a little off colour or such [img]smile.gif[/img]

Lennon thanks dude

It never entered my head to try that and when I did hey, it worked!!!! Well so far lol - I've left a tech post on the bioware forum to check just how important that file actually is. Someone did offer to send it me but it turns out it was bigger than i thought as the corrupted file i had appeared smaller (lost data) and right now im on a dial up connection (...) so it'd take too long to ensure a stable connection between two people.
Cheers mate for that great idea! So far so good.
Thanks to all for your great insights as always
