I had troubles with my PC - It turned out that one bank of 512mbs of
RAM was faulty but while I was trying like blazes to find what the
problem was, I copied over an older Ghost back up of the system,
(thinking that Windows was faulty) - one that did jnot have T3
installed.. I did however save the registry key which had the install
folders address in it and surprise surprise, I got T3 to work with
just this one key... I also saved the savegames and put them manually
into the My Documents folder and they worked. I simply carried on from
where I left off...
I still had the problem though and I installed yet an earlier Ghost
backup, still trying to find the answer,, THEN I found the cure... I
removed the offending stick of RAM then I did exactly the same thing
with the saved key and savegames... Now things are running ever and
all the savegames load up and I am getting throught T3 slowly but
surely...
