Then these are the commands (confirm each line with an enter):
Code: [Select]
C:
cd \
cd "Program Files"
cd Activision
cd "Bridge Commander"
dir /B /O:N /S >> listing.txt
I still can't read peoples minds, nor can I read peoples computers, even worse, I can't combine the two to read what is going wrong with your BC install...

Thanks, after looking through the file, I've come to the conclusion you are running an unmodded game, which does help somewhat.
Ok, I want you to install the v1.1 patch if you haven't done so already.
Then, rename your scripts directory to scriptsOLD and then copy the scripts directory from the SDK so that it replaces the scripts directory (it should not say anything about overwriting files!).


PS.

I also discovered that there are far more sound related files than there are data (ships/textures/bridges) and scripts combined. :mrgreen:

What operating system are you using?

Do other games/programs crash?

Try the following:

Install game to C:\Games\Bridge Commander\ (so that it's guaranteed to be clean)
Install the v1.1 patch

Start the new installation with -TestMode
If it's still problematic, then either your disc is broken, or your harddrive.

You can just install it at a seperate location.

But considering your current installation isn't working it wouldn't matter if you did uninstall.

What is important, is that you try installing it in a different location.
