| First of all, thanks for your advice.
|
| Yesterday I tried to install again the game. I was using an administrator
| account, but it was impossible to install the game in any drive except drive
| C. So, I installed the game in drive C and then I moved all the files from
| drive C to drive D. The next step was to modify the windows registry with
| "regedit". And now the game works normally.
|
| My problem is solved but I'd like to know the origin of the problem: Why is
| it impossible to install the game in drive D directly?
|
| In any case, thanks again.
|
| Cheers,
|
