hi,all...finally got hold of a faster system capable of running d3.had the
demo for a few months and finally loaded it up,but the graphics setup seemed
stuck on 1600 by 1200 and totally unplayable.so i went and bought the full
game on cd,rushed home and loaded the 3 cd`s in.then it asks for cd1
again,and loads some more files.when i click on shortcut,it comes up with
something like `can`t find doom 3 disk 1`...uninstalled and tried again-same
thing....after waiting these few months,well i`m pretty pissed off!!
 my system is a little bit old by todays standards,but is above the minimum
requirements
  athlon xp 2600+,512 ddr ram,ati radeon 9200 128mb video direct x
9.0b,windows xp pro
 my thinking is that it`s windows,in that i also purchased the old game
`IL76 sturmovick` and when i click that shortcut,it can`t find the cd
either...please someone shed some light on this...thanks   :-}
