"The transmission story is fine, but the correct analogy is that you posted a question about the transmission on a forum where no one can see or examine it [highlight]without giving any information about the transmission[/highlight]"

* What exactly do u call this?

*Point is I tried to GIVE all the info, if there are parts I dont have or u need, JUST TELL ME!

[highlight]except that you PUT some fluid in it and it didn't work[/highlight].

* What are u referring to here? What is the "fluid"?



With that wealth of information, being told you need a new transmission is CERTAINLY A solution.


* Of course its a solution, but is it a good one? Put yourself in my position, would u scrap your "transmission" and go buy a new one under the circumstances?

Finally, I just want an answer to my question. [highlight]I dont need moderators, or other people defending themselves, [/highlight]or attacking me because i was defending myself. All i would like is an answer. Why dont u just try and answer the question, instead of being so negative?

Good thing you don't make the rules.

*What is that supposed to mean? It's funny how you just highlight the parts you want to, and ignore the rest. Please read the context next time.

Idk, maybe a faulty disk b/c when I put in other games it works

Did you contact the game manufacturer about a replacement disk?
*yes I did, they said they wouldnt send 1. I also have tried to contact their tech support multiple TIMES, but have been put on hold for hours and have not been able to get through. Also I tried e-mails etc, but havn't gotten a reply. Gotta love that tech support

Does it work on other computers?
* I have not tried it, as i have no easy access to another comp. But as I said before, it worked fine at first, but later it stopped working, so installing it on another comp wouldnt do much good.

[highlight]You may have answered your own question[/highlight] or still not given enough information. At this point we don't know which.

*Why would i still be asking for help, if i had already solved the problem and didnt need it?

I am assuming that since this is an expansion pack that you already have the full legal copy of the game installed? Again, we just don't know.
*Yes I have a full LEGAL copy of both the original and expansion installed, now u know.

I bought this game and it worked fine for a while, but then it just wouldn't load the game. I would put in the disk and the main menu would pop up, I would click on play, the menu would dissapear and nothing would happen. I tried double clicking the shortcut running it from the start menu and other things but it wouldnt work. I uninstalled and reinstalled it and it worked fine until a little while ago, then it started to not work again. I would rather not have to uninsatll and reinstall it over and over if there is a real solution to this. Idk, maybe a faulty disk b/c when I put in other games it works. If u need more info about my problem plz ask.

[highlight]Ps. Be detailed, I'm an idiot[/highlight].
