Battle for Middle Earth (1) Windows 7

[kgrafton]

I already have Battle for Middle Earth 2 installed and running on my windows 7 64-bit laptop. Just got the first BFME but it doesn't even auto run the install, and when I try to start it manually nothing happens.

Help please!

Personally i did not have any issues with this install, even on 64-bit OS which was nice. Have you tried running the program in compatibility mode? How to Run a Program in Compatibility Mode in Windows 7

maybe its the fact you are trying to play it on a laptop. perhaps the requirements aren't met and it wont start up.

Considering the OP states that BFME 2 is already installed, i wouldn't think so.

 

[vierasniper]

oops, i must have misread the post.

@Clinkz,

The link you sent would have been perfect except I can't get anything from the disk to run, and there's no compatibility tab for the CD or its autorun function, so still no install.

 

[vierasniper]

did you try to open the cd, and click on the install or set up .exe's?

 

[kgrafton]

yes I've tried all of that, my mouse shows busy, then nothing happens

 

[vierasniper]

i usually keep clicking till it works, i cant offer much advice besides that.

Is the CD clean and free from scratches?

 

[kgrafton]

yes CD is in great condition
