My old XP PC crashed and I had to buy a new AMD 64 bit dual core with Vista32. I installed the first GR disk, and tried to play. I went to multiplayer since quick mission wasn't available. The cursor froze. I had to shut it down in task manager. I tried it in XP-SP2 and ME compatibility modes and from then on it would not even find the game CD to boot!! I've since installed Desert Storm with the same problem. (Doesn't DS have the 1.3 patch?)

I'm still looking for the IT disk... but trying to install the 1.4 patch I'm told I need 1.3. Wasn't it supposed to be part of DS?

Which reminds me... what's the installation order? From an old ubi.com page:

quote:

*NOTE*
You must have Island Thunder or GR patch 1.3 with Ghost Recon installed first.
Players will be REQUIRED to use the GR CD after installing the patch. Previous versions of Ghost Recon will no longer be compatible with version 1.4.

And to be on the safe side... does anyone know where I can get the 1.3 patch?

THANKS!!!!

In another forum someone suggested trying to run GR as an administrator. It didn't work. I get the same error... that the game can't find the original game CD... but I only have one CD drive.

I uninstalled GR and reinstalled just disk 1. It found the game CD and I could play the training missions. But whenever I go into the multiplayer game lobby the cursor locks... and I'm unable to get to get back to desk top or even Task Manager to shut GR down. So I'm forced to do a hard shutdown.

Hi,
Try to change compatibility of the game to Vista compatibility.To do that click the icon of the game then click properties.Choose compatibilty option from above then change to the proper one.Good luck.

I've tried to set the compatibility to XP SP2 as well as Vista with minimal results. Is there anything else I may be able to try?

May not be your problem, but worth a look at the complete guide to uninstalling / reinstalling.
