Carma 2 problem- Epson Scan Error??

Post by davidio11 »

Hey I tried re-installing carmageddon 2 on my xp comp and when i clicked install it came up with an error message saying that epson scan could not run or something. Also i warn you that I'm not that great with computers so please dont be too technical. I apoligise if this has already been answered but i could not find any reference to it on the forum.

Thanks for replying Coffeecup. I've managed to get around the Epson scan error by installing through the control panel but now when i press launch, nothing happens. I have tried both options(middle one is frozen out) yet it still does nothing. Is this the case that i just need a patch (if so where is it and how do i use it) or is there something else I need to do?

I don't know what you mean by installing through the control panel.

GO to the N00bs Start Here section. Read how to use the SEARCH function correctly and lookup

XP Pro patch

and

problems XP Pro

The game looks best running under 3dfx (Glide) so also look up

GlideWrapper

He means Add/Remove programs thingy, which is quite yucky..

Study the PC a bit more, you'll get hopelessly lost somehow again and it makes it harder for us to help you (so don't take it as an offend).

Am I meant to replace the carma.hw file on the disc with the patch version because if so my access is denied.

Please tell me you're kidding.

You're trying to drag a file onto a CD-ROM?

Dude, get someone who knows their way around computers to do the setup for you.
