I almost would dare to say that someone who's installing a game in' mijn documenten', now :Hij verdient te sukkelen, but hell ,we all had to learn , haven't we.
So , for starters , make a c:\games folder and install your games in a subfolder, for that one i would suggest:
c:\games\drally
The message you get indicates that your pif isn't correct , check the paths, and working map , meaning:
opdrachtregel
werkmap
enzovoort...
installing on a more clever folder ( 8 char max) and you get rid of those file~w.xxx ,.....and you will see more clearly what's going wrong.
:)
And maybe the next time you post a pic , shrink it to 640x480, so we don't have to scroll the whole time horizontally as you will have to do now.
