To Re-install or Not to Re-install
That is the question...
X-Post from my Blogger verbatim
I decided I am going to install Mansions and Gardens this weekend. That in itself is not a huge deal. The huge deal is that when I installed my game the last time I used Clean/Empty templates and made sure that my install was SecuROM free. I launch my game with a No CD crack. I do remember reading somewhere that if you install something new, either the templates or something needs to be put back from the original install. Maybe it was the NBs. I know for sure I need to remove the crack until the install is complete.
Suffice it to say I cannot find the files. OK I have the original executable files that the crack replaces. I can't find the original NB files. I swear I saw them recently. I really did.
I have all the steps necessary were I to completely install from scratch or I can take my chances on hosing my existing install and having to re-install from scratch anyway. What to do...what to do...
I could search forums to see if there are tips or advice out there. However the time it takes to search and read 452 pages worth of posts and scan and kill my shoulders might be best spent just biting the bullet and doing it right?
