Game won't download and install

Purchased this game, it will not install or even download so I can play!!!! I have no problem with any other games that I have purchased, some from the same company. And of course, once you open a game the stores will not take it back!!!!

Simple Melanie, if you still have the receipt, take it back to the place you purchased it from and tell them it is a manufacturing defect. They should be able to tell you what to do from there. If they don't do an even exchange, they might give you the info to contact the customer support to give you the instructions how to replace the game.

SOURCE: i downloaded and purchased a game in the store

Hello,

You can try the steps below. Its from PlayStation Forum:

1. Turn off Playstation®3.
2. Hold the power button down; the system will turn on and turn off once again.
3. Once the System has been shutdown, re-press you finger until you hear 2 consecutive beeps
4. When you hear the 2 beeps take finger off power button.
5. You will be prompted to plug in your controller via USB and then hit the PS button
6. The Recovery menu will pop up.

The current Recovery Menu supports:
• Restart System: Restarts the PLAYSTATION®3 System.
• Restore Default Settings: Reset all system settings back to default.
• Restore File System: Checks for corrupt/missing system files.
• Rebuild Database: Rebuilds the OS for the PLAYSTATION®3.
• Restore PS3 System: Fresh restore; Deletes everything and starts from Scratch.
• System Update: Update the PLAYSTATION®3 System

If the above steps still does not solve the problem, then I think will have to update your Ps3.

Update your PS3 (in the settings menu the 1st option).

Go on the internet browser on the PS3 then go on the menu press triangle then on one of them there are delete cookies and the delete the others as
well as cookies.

You could also try this as well: put the PS3 on then press the eject button (with no disc in) then hold it and switch the PS3 off at the back with your finger on the eject button still holding it, then put it back on and the fan test should be working this may cool it down. It might be over heating.

But if your problem is not still solved, then maybe you should call sony for further assistance.

I wish you good luck.

When i install barbie horse adventures mistery ride it says wrong disc...it won't let me play the game.

Did you legally download this game? If not you most probably have to crack it. Not advisable to do so.

May I download games I have purchased from CD.. So that I can play without using the disc. [email protected]

i am assuming you are talking about computer games. there are programs called cracks that you can download that allow you to play an installed game without the disc, but these are illegal so i cant tell you where to find them. *cough gamecopyworld cough* to install said cracks, or no-cd fixes as they are also known. you must 1) have the game installed on your hard drive 2)have the most recent version patch (most games automatically update) 3) download the crack 4) go to the folder where your installed games files are and replace the exe. file with the one you get from the crack download. i would suggest making another copy of the installed file first just in case.
hope this helps.

How do I down load to an external drive and not the main computer

First Solution:-

1. If you have copied a particular game's folder to the external drive, go to Start menu > Programs.
2. Right click on the file name of the game.
3. Click on "Properties"
4. Go to "shortcut" page and change the "Target" path directing the EXE file to the folder in the external drive where you have copy-pasted the your game.
5. Click on "Apply" and "OK".
6. Now, try to start the game, and you should be able to play.

An alternate solution is given below.

In both the cases (internet game / purchased games):-
1. First plug in the external hard drive to your computer.
2. You will have to run the installation file of the game (both purchased and internet download) and select the folder path directing it to the external hard drive.
3. For some games, you may have to uninstall the existing game first to re-install and select the desire folder path (external drive).
4. Games will be installed in external drive and also available in start menu > programs > "your game".

Happy gaming! :)

Civilization 4 game

I had an issue with Vista and my video card. I had to go to the video cards manufacturers website and download the most recent driver for the card. Also if your game is open they won't let you exchange it for something else. I hope this works.
