could you give us a dxdiag of your pc? (i'm assuming its windows...) (go to start>run and type dxdiag then click save and post the file)

if no one is able to find the problem then just say that it is the best game you have ever played  :D  

here ya go i hope this helps  ;)  :D  

when does the problem exactly occour? when? during file extracting or just when you start the setup.
btw. i don't know if your system can take on fleet operations with 128mb ram and nvidia vanta chip...

btw. quite nice sig :)

edit: welcome to the forums! :P

yes when it crashes would be very helpful to know (sorry i didn't ask that in the begining...) also you might want to try closeing all background processes, press control+shift+escape then click on the processes tab and close every thing that says your user name under the user name colum EXCEPT! svchost, explorer, and taskmgr then exit out of the window and try; i agree with doca that your system might not be able to handel the game but that shouldn't affect the install process

BTW welcome to the forums (sorry i didn't say so earily, didn't see your post count

the problem starts as soon as the install process starts when it actually starts installing the files then the systems just restarts i had the first version of this programs on my system and it worked superbly i don't understand what went wrong i did everything i was asked to do and still having problems can anyone help and bright ideas to solve this puzzle?

do you have admin access to your computer?

and does Armada 2 install normally? (this is to check if the disk is ok)

maybe your download of fo was screwed up. i've never heard of this happening with any other mod or game (certainly never happened to me) so i can only suggest that you redownload the mod. if it happens again, it must be the computer, it defies logic :wacko:  

the setup has an build in crc check so theoreticaly a download error would be instantly shown up before the real setup shows up. in this very rare case i can only give you the advice to scan for a virus or check what background applications are running causing this behauviour. still, consider that your system may not be strong enough to take on fleet operations

thank you all i have check the system and it fine and i have the latest antivirus software  on my system the system is fine i unstalled a2 and reinstalled a2  and plenty of other games but when it comes to fleet ops i don't know what to do does anyone else have any ideas or a zip file version of the program i can extract to disk and i have full admin access after all it is my computer im the only person that uses it  :mellow:  :lol:

thanks guys your great i know we solve this problem if anyone has anyother ideas they can find me on yahoo my yahoo instant messenger sn is ron44120 :D  :D  :D  :D  

i just checked. you have an usb cd-rom drive attached to your pc, have you tried using your build in cd-rom drive instead? could you try to unplug your usb cd-rom and see if it's working then?

just an idea, i never tried installing from an usb cd-rom drive but it may be worth trying

thanks my reports has been submitted and i give Fleetops 5 Stars and i got it to work thank's to everyone ;)  ;)  ;)  ;)  ;)  ;)  ;)  ;)  

have they been posted on a site mate?

what was the problem? just for the records :)

i was using my usb cd-rom insted of by regular one and i just unpluged my usb cd-rom and the install worked Superbly We CAn Wait Until V3 Comes Out :D  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  

interesting, i will get an usb cd-rom drive asap and test it out with the new installer. thx for reporting.

I don't know if they are related, but this problem sounds similar to a problem i once had with another of my games, and it crossed my mind they might be related.

I have two hard disks on my PC, C: and D:. My CD ROM is E:. When i installed Emperor: Battle for Dune to D drive once (Brill game, btw  ^_^) and i inserted the disk for playing it mistook C: for my CD ROM and couldn't find the disk, yet the autorun ran fine. My dad changed some code in a file somewhere to fix it ('fraid i can't remember what).

i assume that was an entry in the windows registry. i don't think those problems are related. armada is able to find the right cd-rom by looking at every cd/dvd drives label and choose the right one. i remember some games saving a string in the registry which drive you used to install a game and if that was for example d: and you build in a second hd with now d: as letter you cannot play anymore until you manually fix this string or reinstall the game so it can reassociate the right drive letter with it's installation cd.
