Lord of the Rings Conquest

[JROD]

I bought Lord of the Rings Conquest two days ago. I installed it onto my laptop. Then, when I went to play it, I got a black screen with a sword cursor. I could still hear the sound. I checked online, and apparently just about everyone with a laptop is having that same issue, and everyone is waiting for a patch. So, I went to install it on my desktop thinking that it may actually work (on low at least, since my desktop only has 512 megabytes of RAM). It will not even read the cd! Whenever I put the cd in, nothing happens. I went into my computer thinking that I could run it from there, but it thinks that there is actually nothing in the cd rom drive. I know for a fact that it is not my current cd rom drive because it can read Star Wars Battlefront 2 and any other cd that I have in it. It is also not that the Lord of the Rings Conquest cd is broken, because my laptop reads it fine. So, does anyone have any advice? I was thinking maybe that EA only wants you to install the game on one computer, so maybe I should uninstall it from the laptop first? Any responses are greatly appreciated!

Perhaps it's a DVD and your desktop doesn't have a DVD drive?

I've had a problem with only being allowed it on one PC, but I'm not sure if it's the case here.


Google might be your friend, and there could be some setting which will enable you to run it without the problem.

If that doesn't work, try some advice from someone else who posts here which will probably be better, or overclock your FSB to 1333 Mhz so you can increase your PSU's output auxiliary capacity to 4000 GW's?

I can play movies on DVDs from my desktop. I have even encoded home dvds onto my iPod. So I don't think that is the problem. Thanks for trying, though

Corpse:
Thanks, I will try uninstalling and then installing to desktop. I really do not want to overclock anything, though.

that was the part which wasn't serious.

First off, LotrC is the worst game made (second only to Bfme2-Rotwk expansion) in the Lotr universe.

Secondly, both computors are under the requirements for the game, as crappy as it is.

I mean, I gave the game the benifit of the doubt, and it turned around to beat me dead, and killed itself in the process. Not to mention that EA lost the ability to make it anymore.

BFME 2 was an amazing game IMO Rancor.
