CMR3 Install Problems

Just installed CMR3 (repeatedly) and cannot get it to run. As soon as the Codemasters video finishes it dumps me back to the desktop. At the very end of the installation process I get two error messages: "Cannot install Windows Media Format", and "Cannot install Windows Media 8 codecs". I tried installing the DirectX components from disc 3, but still had the same problem. I'm running: Dell P4 1.6 256 RAM XP Home nvidia gforce 3 ti 200 64MB SB Live Any help would be greatly appreciated. I hate dealing with these frustrations after waiting for months for this game. tia Jerry in Wichita

Try reinstalling the Media Player or installing it if it's not installed. Alanb

If you have Windows Media Player installed: You could try downloading the latest MS codecs using Windows Update or going to http://www.divx.com. - TN Alan Bernardo ([email hidden]) wrote: : "Jerry Furlong" <[email hidden]> wrote in message : news:xpsLa.26249$[email hidden]... : > Just installed CMR3 (repeatedly) and cannot get it to run.
