? we zipped files from my computer to his,,,not working! we copied and emailed files to his from mine  not working!!!!! tried complete new downloads several times still no go,,,,, so we did complete wipe and new download like he never had ce on computer, downloaded new version and it tried to open the disc appeared turning  like loading game then just quits!!! we are both quite frustrated,,satye more than me,,,he is about at the point of quiting completly because he so frustrated,,he can play his acct. from my computer but that really defeats the purpose!!! we play ce together thats why we like the game,,,if he quits and plays different game ,then I will follow ,we do not wish to play another mod we like ce..we have played from start and wish to continue ,,,someone please help before that happens!! we spend alot of time playing here and enjoy it..but we are close to the end of our rope as to how to correct problem? and please remember we are not computer experts at programs and stuff so explain as simple as possible please!  any thing else we can try before we lose our minds and our favorite mod

@Satye ...... hang in there ......
I had trouble at first .... did you start with 7.65, than 7.66, than w/sp1?, move patch.txt to desktop,uninstall 7.66sp2 (or sp1), move back patch.txt into d2 folder, install 7.66 sp3 (full version)????

a solution has to work!!!!!!!!

i thaught everything is fine, after he didnt talk any longer about the issue

so for the moment i need an information, whats now working, what not..

also i m wondering about the issue, if you copied the folder from your to his pc

does he have other tools installed than you? other antispy, antivirus scanner...
i need to understand the issue, to find a solution..

Postet at: May 01, 2006, 12:54:13 amok we got 766 to run  766 sp1 running when we try to go to 766 sp2 it just locks up and gives errors it wont deactivate ,run , or do any thing and it wont let us delete it either so the problem starts with 766 sp2,,,and we havent figured out why or how to get it to work

@satye and widowmaker: If he open the downloaded file and only sees a monitor, I think to ask if his file associations are scrambled, or if he doesn't have winzip.  When winzip is installed, you can right-click on the monitor and select "open with".  Select WinZip as the program to open a zip file, and select the checkbox for "always use".  Now he should be able to see the 7.66sp3.exe in the opened zip file.  Can we get this far?
