Having a problem installing a game on Computer

Question

please read carefully.

I have never had this problem untill now and am trying to figure it out.

Keep in mind i have a Dual Core (didnt when i first got the game) computer.

it has plenty of hard drive and video and memory

I am trying to install:

Star Wars Battlefield 2

and

Medal of Honor Airborne

When I try Airborne it brings up one of those big eror boxes from microsoft saying that it needs to close the program and do i want to send a error report. I checked it and it says Temp as part of the problem..

first question: how do i get into my temporary files to clear them out. I assume it has something to do with that. (i need into the folder not disc clean because ive tried that)

On Battlefield it will act like its going to start and does a check on my PhysX card drivers. it seems to finish that then brings up a black box that looks (it dissapears very fast) like a dos prompt box.

The instalation will not continue past this.

Can anyone tell me if these two games have problems with Dual Core?

Is there a patch for these two games for dual core?

any help would be nice

Answer 1

To delete temp files.

a. Open your web browser. In Tools, select Internet Options. It opens with the General tab showing. Click the Delete Files button in the middle of that tab, check the box about deleting offline content and click OK.

b. Go into Windows Explorer (right-click on Start and select Explore). Do a search on "Temp" files for your entire C drive. You'll have to decide which ones to delete.

2. Make sure you have all the service packs and patches for Windows and the most recent drivers for your graphics and sound.

a. Start --> Control Panel (or use your Windows Explorer to find it) --> Automatic Updates, then under the last option, Turn off Automatic Updates, there's a link called Windows Update Web Site. Click on the link and get the updates.

b. Back in your Control Panel, choose Program Updates, then the Update Settings tab. This should list your graphic and sound drivers. Get the updates.

3. Try the install again.

4. if it doesn't work Google the manufacturer and go to the website for the game, to the Support page. You can check there for patches or whether other have had the same problem and how they resolved it, or you can email them your problem.

Answer 2

Make sure your video card ram is at least 256 MB for games to run.

Also, try this site that has Game fixes and patches, just look for you game in the list....hope this helps.
