Error Installing Grid

Funkijazz · 02-11-2008, 10:23 PM

I just bought the game and when i try to install it, i get to about 30% and an error comes up 0x45d, then my computer is non responsive until i do a hard reboot.
I tried several times and it jams at a different file every time.

Specs:
Core 2 Duo E8400
8 gigs of Gskillz ram
Visiontek 4870HD
Asus P5q pro
Audigy 2 soundcard
Vista home 64 bit

Did you buy a downloaded version or are you installing from a DVD?

Do you have another computer to try install on, to see if it's your computer that having the problem or maybe got a bad DVD with a corrupted file.

Ok, guess you could go back to the store you bought GRID from and tell them game will not install and you think you might have a bad disk. They should exchange your "bad" disk and give you a new DVD disk to try.
