but still 82 GB should well be more than enough to install no more than than a couple of GB of extra adventures. That`s whats got me bugged right now you`ve got the space but the game says you don`t


Generally speaking a computer will come with microsoft update preconfigured so as to get all available updates as soon as they are released

I just checked and everything seems to be up to date as it should be. Now the question of why won't it install?

I did some checking and the extra adventures go in
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents\The Witcher

I know with vista and 7 when you get the not enough space error it means the public documents folder is missing.

Have you tried installing in safe mode with networking ?

I've just been trying to restart in safe mode but it won't let me. I restart but it won't register when I click F8 or del which is what the screen prompts you to do if you want the setup menu.
I don't understand why everything is always so hard when I try to do something on the computers I own. Everyone else seems to be able to get their stuff to work the way it's supposed to while I end up wasting money on games I never get to play because they won't work properly.

I think that when your comp gets straight it`ll install but F8 should let you in safe mode so you can`t get to the setup menu or safe mode . That is not right at all. OK lets make sure you have a clean system to start with go to either of the links provided install update and do a full system scan both are very good and both have a free version. All that`s needed is patience and determination. Do you have a windows startup disk or does your harddrive have a recovery partition

You act like I don't have any virus protection.
I already have iolo system shield which scans my computer regularly. My computer is clean.

About the startup disk I don't have one because it wasn't originally my computer. I got it off someones lawn, and then had the local computer guys wipe the lot and reinstall XP.
In all honesty I don't want to do anything big to the computer. One game is not worth jeopardizing everything else that I have installed.

OK but something isn`t quite right . Just a suggestion but i would take it back to them and tell them that you can`t get in safe mode or setup as you should be able to do both

Sounds like a plan . I remember when i used XP i had an identical issue with not being able to enter safe mode and ended up finally fixing it by reinstalling. I hope it doesn`t come to that for you and i hope you have a good New Year

Thanks for your fast replies!

My DVD Drive seems to be OK, I successfully reinstalled the regular edition of The Witcher this morning. I'll try to install the EE on the computer of a friend, to see if he's got the same problems with it. ›››

I had the same problem as Zakkarum. Absolutely new system, fresh Windows 7 install, Blu-Ray drive goes havoc when trying to install Witcher Enhanced Edition.

Solution: Open drive, close drive again. Installation continues. But: it already took longer than a complete Windows 7 install from USB. I sure hope this is no copy protection issue, or I'll be pissed off massively. I haven't started playing yet (still installing while I registered and type this) and I'm already disappointed. I hope this doesn't continue, I also bought TW2 (still sealed, so if this failed I'll bring it right back).

You can if you want. Claim a digital backup copy of both games

Hey I bought the Enhanced Edition and I'm trying to install the game on my Windows 8 laptop. I meet all the minimum requirements to run the game, the disk spins for a while then the error message Warning! Minimum system requirements not met! I tried creating a shortcut and adding the -dontForceMinReq to the target and It wouldn't let me apply it to the shortcut. Any Suggestions?

If the game installed but you are met the system requirement check . Then download and install the 1.5 patch from the link http://en.thewitcher...cher/1/updates/ . After that is complete then follow the link to remove the Tages drivers
http://www.tagesprot...age=minimum.htm . To remove the tages drivers when the Tages page loads click the 5.5 toward the bottom and then choose the appropriate one for your system and follow the prompts to uninstall the tages drivers .

If you wish you can also claim a witcher backup from GOG http://www.gog.com/witcher/backup
