Title: FAO Computer Wizards
Post by: STFC4LIFE on Thursday, February 12, 2009, 13:56:22
Why can't a get Championship Manager 01/02 to install on this p.c?

It will let the 03/04 version install, but when I put the 01/02 disc in, it says select language, after i've chosen English it just doesn't do anything?

I've deleted things, uninstalled 03/04, but it still doesn't work.

CM0102_REL (D:) - Is that what you mean?
When I click it it just comes up select language again and then nothing happens like before.

There's a password to run as administrator aswell, there's not a chance noone here would have touched that before so is there just a default one?

nope. you get asked to create one when you first start the machine or reinstall XP.

maybe look through help at how to change it if it's been forgotten

Q. If he's uninstalled stuff doesn't that mean he's running as Administrator?

you'd have assumed but i'm going on the theory this is microsoft we're talking about.

i can uninstall stuff at home on Vista but to run Driver Sweeper i need to run it as Administrator.
Odd

It's not officially compatible with xp. Could try changing xp to 16 bit colour mode as that might help.
