Uh... hi. I'm new, and haven't made an account yet.<br />
<br />
Well, anyway, I'm having problems with my C3 installation. I have the Creatures Trilogy CD, and had to uninstall the program because I put it in the wrong directory. Now, it started having an error at %20, %16, and now even %2 installation.<br />
<br />
I can't totally remember the error message, but it usually has to do with installing background files or image files (namely, the a03.att file, I think.) I've tried installing it on different drives, restarting the computer, not running any programs, everything under the rainbow.<br />
<br />
Any help would be appreciated. contact me at mollmo@yahoo.com if you don't want to reply here.<br />
<br />
And the only reason I'm putting this here is because creature labs doesn't have a troubleshooting email anymore :(</div>71.108.150.236
