Sorry to be a bore, but can you explain step by step.

I tried loading both discs, and got the same error message. It looks like I am going to have to forego the end of land 5, and continue onto B&W 2. Thinking of it, if I can't sort this out, I will never be able to return to B&W 1. Even starting from land 1. OHHH :angry  what a cockup.

I deleted the B&W folder. No differance. So I have un-deleted it.

I went to the ergc folder which contained the file with the game code number. I modified that number with the one from my other game. I tried to install the game useing both discs, but I still get the error message.

I am so sorry. I have tried both discs with both numbers, (numbers changed in the ergc folder). I still get the error message. This build of CDCode is for Black and White this is an invalid build of CDCode. Please fill out the EReg Config Form to obtain a valid CDCode build.

Hi Kays. No go. I still get the error message.

In the Black & White folder the only file is NAMED (Default)   TYPE Reg-sz   DATA (value not set) Any sugestions?

Well, here we are again. More trouble. I completed the backup and un-installed, but when it came to reloading the game I got an ERROR window saying:- This build of CDCode is for Black and White this is an invalid build of CDCode. Please fill out the EReg Config Form to obtain a valid CDCode...

Thanks Kays. I'll give it a go now, and will let you know how I get on. ATB Gary.

Thanks for your reply Kays. Once I have backed up the game, can I then un-install, and re-install? If so, could you please explane how I should go about all of this. Hwo to use the BACKUP tool, and what to do once I have re-installed the game. Many thanks. Gary.

Hi all. I had a prob with my PC yesterday, and whilst talking to the engineer I mentioned my problem with B&W. Where the game crashes after about 30 mins, saying that something has stopped working. Well. He suggested uninstalling the game, then R-clicking on the SETUP.EXE file on the game...

Well I tried the above, but I don't know if it worked or not. Now when I do a quick save, auto save or go into the temple and save, a window pops up saying:- lh has stopped working. Windows is collecting more information about the problem. This might take several minutes. Once it has finished...

Thank you so much for your help and time Kays. This is a brand new computer. I no longer have XP. I'll have a go at switching off all my PC security  :p and download the patch again. ATB Gary.

Hi Kays. I tried putting it into several different locations with exactly the same result as above. It's a shame. The game has behaved quite well up until now. I think I will just go onto B&W 2, and see what happens there, and perhaps return at a later date. Thanks for trying. ATB Gary.

When I D-click on the patch icon, I get a "security window" of which I press the "RUN" button. Then I get another window which is headed:-  C:\users\Gary\Documents\black_white_patch_v1_20.exe in the window it says:- C:\users\Gary\Documents\black_white_patch_v1_20.exe is not a valid win32...

Sorry for the delay in replying. Using a differant DVD player made no difference. What do I do to load the 1.2 patch? I download it to my "DOWNLOAD" file, then what do I do? which folder in B & W do I put it? Thanks again for taking the time to help. ATB Gary.

Thank you both for you replies. Kays. - No. I havan't loaded anything latley. Jaden. - I do have another DVD player that I can try. I'll give it a go during the week.               What is "User Access Control"? If you mean "Addministrator rights", I did change this after loading the game...
