Guest Angelstorm Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Yes its me again the woman that doesn`t have a clue on pc`s but has great knowledge on the human body!I have been playing EM3 on my laptop fine but the AC cable has got a crack in it and it is not working anymore so I decided to install the game on my pc. I tried to play it before i install all the patches and mods to the game but it didnt let me enter the virtual world of the game, came up with "EM£.EXE" is missing from the disks that i have already used :6: So i decided to download the patches and mods and when i tried to install the patch 3 in german mode following the instructions it was doing its thing untill it asked for a disk and i just looked at the PC and almost cried i pressed the cancel button or what i thought the cancel button and continued on my journey but still no action on the pc for me so i think ill have uninstall the game and reinstall it and try again with the patches and mods but i am so i think i might just go for a rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Angelstorm Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I Cant seem to get past Patch 3, it keeps asking me C:\DOCUME~1\ve\LOCALS~1\Temp\bye18E.tmp\Disk1\any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I Cant seem to get past Patch 3, it keeps asking me C:\DOCUME~1\ve\LOCALS~1\Temp\bye18E.tmp\Disk1\any ideas?Did you download Emergency 3 from the internet somewhere? If you are installing the patch it might ask for Disk 1 which is what I think is happening. Simply input the disk and see if it will proceed. If you downloaded it then I'm sorry I can't help as it might mean downloading it again and that'll just confuse me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Angelstorm Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Well after a good night sleep, i tried one last time with the disks, just at the end of installing the game and it asks for disk 1 again, the screen goes white and thats the last of installation of the game, but the link appears on my desktop to start the game so i try and it still asks for em3.exe.

Russ Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 If what Stan said doesnt work try going into the Control Panel to see if any Emergency 3 is installed. If something is listed uninstall it. If there is nothing there then go to your harddrive (usually My Computer > Local Disk (C:) > Program Files > sixteen tons entertainment > Emergency 3If there is an Emergency 3 folder I'd recommend deleting it and it's contents. Ideally you should try and remove it via the Control Panel but if it's not listed then it's not installed properly so you should remove it manually. I would then restart the machine and try to install again. I've not had this problem before so I'm just thinking of possible ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Angelstorm Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I think i have found a little bit of the problem, i havent installed the patches or the mods and i opened the emergency file and i noticed that the em3.cfg file is still in note pad .... so im thinking of deleting everything that deals with EM3but thanks for the advice all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppah Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 no you need the first and second too Never heard of that.Older patches are ALWAYS included in newer ones.I reinstalled Em3 (and 4) many times and only installed the latest patch.And I never have any problems with those games.

Guest GTX Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 A crack in a cable may be easy to fix. Just have to locate it... (may not be as easy)Try to bend the cable from "start" to "end" and look for signs of power at your laptop, and the crack should be there! Open the cable and make the connection. Use some tape to make sure the + and - cable doesnt touch and wrap It up. :1046275747_biggthumpup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
