Virtual GP & Starfighter

[steztheskinhead]

I've just purchased these 2 CD games off Ebay but I cant get either of them to run :sad VGP get's as far as the intro which seem to run (I get some distorted sound but a Black screen) but if I left click to carry on loading the game I get a "Please wait loading" type screen which just freezes, my miggy just seems to hang :( any idea's ?
With Starfighter It seems to install ok but I dont think it actually is! while installing you get a message saying "ready to install, will take about 12mins on a fast computer & 20mins + on slower comps" but then it sticks some files on the hd for about 5 seconds then tells me every thing is installed and ready to go.....but when you try to run the game I get a "file not found" message! By the way Gp is supposed to be able to run directly fron CD but the end result is still the same :scream
My System is
A1200 with an 030 Accelerator + 8meg simm
800meg hard drive
2X CD Rom

Thanx :(

I guess the CDs are just BROKEN.
CDs should be in ISO9660 format, this means they're readable on a PC without problems. I suggest copying the contents of the CD to a temporary folder on your PC HD and check if there are any errors.
If there are, fingers crossed that the seller is an honest person and he's gonna give back your money you paid for these ..... goods!

the most common reason for "file not found" for installing starfighter is that you actually nominated to install it to a folder/drawer called "starfighter" which confuses the game.

Install it to "Star" instead and it will work.
