Try the no-cd 'patch' from www.gamecopyworld.com to see if it's the copy
protecting that's teasing you.

After playing Far Cry ... well don't expect too much :\

SoS

Just a wild thought.  Have you tried turning OFF HyperThreading in the BIOS?
That has helped me run some programs.

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.  As for the other reply about
hyperthreading, I doubt it would be that because there isn't an actual
failure, nothing happens at all.  It doesn't even get so far as to
create unreal2.ini.  Anyway, thanks for the help.

I read in the notice that the protection won't let you launch the 
game if it detects a software like alcohol 120.

Try the nocd from Gamecopyworld and everything will be ok...
