Xiphos666

the game intro starts up fine and then when it gets to the welcome screen, when the music plays and there are zombies walking in the background, i cant do anything after that.

Xiphos666

nevermind i figured it out. also why is it in french?

NO idea Xiphos666 as I preordered the game and downloaded the demo early properly. If that's something that's bothering you, you can now download the demo from Steam or anywhere else without having preordered now.

Hello, i'm new here...

I missed the actual demo release and now the demo download isn't on Steam anymore. So i have resorted to Torrents, like this one.

I have downloaded the L4D demo and the other file.


The next step is to execute the setup right? Well, the problem is that it auto installs in my C: Drive and i only have 6gb. 6gb should be fine, but everytime i install it, i lose around a gb of memory and nothing happens. When i operate the second file (the first file in the first image) it just reinstalls the setup again and i get less and less memory.


So, i don't know whats wrong, but i'm guessing the setup isn't working right. I really don't want to reinstall the setup because it takes me 5 hours to install it. Probably because of where its been uploaded.

Does anyone know whats going wrong? Also, does anyone know how i can "merge" my two drives, i don't want to try anything because i usually end up screwing something up.

Cheers

You can merge your two partitions by right clicking on my computer and going to manage, here find disk management.

In here you should see the partitions on your hard drive, simply right click on your D:\ partition and click delete volume (YOU WILL LOOSE ANYTHING ON IT, BE WARNED, Make a backup.) now right click on the C:\ partition and expand it so it uses up all the free space.

That will work fine if both drives are partitions on the same two hard drives, if there two separate hard drives that won’t work.

Do you mean it took you 5 hours to download it? If it took 5 hours to install something is wrong there.

Once installed did you go to the folder where you installed the game and run the Left 4 Dead.bat file?

If you did that and nothing happens you either don’t have enough free hard disk room which is causing the game problems or your graphics card is not supported by the game, do you know what graphics card you have?

I hate to say this, but i'm pretty stupid compared to most computer geeks.

As for the partition parts, is there a way to check if they are two separate hard drives without disassembling my laptop, i'd probably forget how to put it back and end up breaking it.

Yea, the estimated time for download was like 3 hours 15 minutes, but my x/KB kept going from 40-120. Its probably where you uploaded it... because i've gotten more KBs from speedyshare.

To install it, i have to open the setup (the demo.exe), once i open it, it installs 8? files in my TEMP folder which add up to like 1-2gb and they don't do anything. I've searched everywhere and there are no more files, each of the files has a weird combination of letters and numbers. I deleted them and i'm not too eager to reinstall them.
When i run the demo.exe, nothing pops up, it just installs those 8 files in my C: Drive automatically. I can't even see it unless i refresh My Computer and see the actual GBs going down.

I'm guessing this is my specs:


I heard intel sucks, but i wouldn't know how to change it even if i wanted.
