Grunt, me buy big game, grunt. Me buy Jade Empire. Me very happy cause Bioware do Jade Empire. Me think that make game good.- Me wrong
Game not work, grunt. Game instal much and then corrupt file stop it. Me found 3 - 4 reccomended ways to make game good.

1. Was install newest firmaware for DVD drive.
2. Was swapping or disabling one of my two ram sticks.
3. Was to switch the DVD drive with older one.
4. Install directly from CD.
5. Install on other PC then swap through LAN.
6. Copy to your HD and then install.

Me very smart, me try no. 4, but it not work. Me try no. 5, but my mother's and father's laptops are blocked/protected from Lanning, and my sister's has a bad IP that me refuses to repair itself and me not know how to switch manually.

Me not know how to do 1, 2 or 3, or what would be wise and unwise.- Me hear bad stories of firmware eating small PCs!

Going to try no. 6 now, but it takes 3 hours or so, and I'm rather sceptical as to how succesfull that'll be. So any help/advice would be appreciated.- Free drinks and special blessings of alderbranch to the one who solves the problem

how about reinstalling the whole thing?

Has to be installed before I can reinstal it though

Try and throw the disk to good ol' Holland and hopefully it'll decapitate the seller, because right now there's a really slim chance to get it to work.

Try a different drive?

And option 6 is your best bet at the moment.

Nothing wrong with this disc in particularity, all Jade discs would do the same doesn't like my particular DVD/CD driver.

opt 6 didn't work. opt. 5 almost worked, it's installed on my sisters PC but it won't connect to the LAN.- Claims something is wrong with the IP or something like that...

Set it manually. Go to Network Connections, and then LAN connection, then Properties, then Advanced (I think) and something like that.

Tried that several times, not any option that allows me to do it manually

Yes there is
Oops. It's under General, then Internet Protocol TCP/IP

I'll try to find that... Hope it works

Nope, nothing there

This is the sort of stuff that make ppl resort to piracy

Ugh, I've been palying the last 12 hours... forgott to say it was allright I managed to beat the evil mosnter

I'm glad you got it to work. If all else failed, I could have provided you with links to a YARRRRRRRRRR version, if you catch my drift
