What OS are you trying to install it on? Planescape: Torment was made for Windows 95/98...

I am using win98, Pentium 2 450mhz, 96mb ram, cdrw, matrox millinium g200 video card, and yamaha sound card.

i get 99% done and the installation fatal errors.. then if i play the game, i get to the character generation, and push accept, then tells me to put cd2 in... when it already is!! grrr this is very frustrating!

Kit, have you checked if there is enough space on your hard drive? (for caching too...)

well i have 2gigs free space.. should be more then enough.

From what you're saying, I can only think that your CD is ruined.

If it is possible, try to install it on another comp.

btw, PT works fine on WINNT and WIN2K. Haven't tried it on WINme though...

Just bought it! I am going to take it right back..lol

Take it back?
Noooooo...

Ah, you mean to replace it for another copy. Yeah, that's it. Of course. Silly me.

/me does the happy dance :D

Ok... i figured it out.. was not the cd's was my cdrom. Still had the atapi drivers loaded. So i went to the manufacturer's site got the proper drivers and viola!! Woo hoo..

ty ty for your help all

/me plants a big wet smooch on Kit

Ahh, and I thought she'll betray us.

Kit - I had the same problem when I bought it...I'm running Windows ME, and I have plenty o' room on my HD...Any suggestions?

What the website you visited for the drivers?

<< By the way, I was just checking out your avatar - It's kickin! >>

~Bel

Ty Sir Bel.. i thought the avatar fit me well :D

Regarding the drivers, you need to get the drivers for your specific cdrom. Do you have a rewriter? Just tell me the model # and manufacturer and i will find the website for you :)

Thanks Kit - The radiant, red-haired goddess to the rescue - As always!

:D ~Bel

Bel, ain't she a goddes or not? :D

Extremist - As a cleric of the realm, I can assure you that Kitiara is a goddess. Indeed, she falls into the category of "Deity First Class".

Looking through my scolls of mythology, she is the Fair-Maiden of Firmness, the Diva of Dancing, and the Patron Saint of Playfulness.

Please, extend to her the respect she deserves.
