I understand that files are missing and i've tried reinstalling but it just wont work. Does anybody know what to do to fix the problem?

From cds

[The One King]

Just vanilla Mtw2

Do an remove from the control panel by going into programs and features. Do a reinstall. Patch it to 1.5 if it isn't already included with your CDs. Start over.

Ok, i'm trying this now, i'll be getting off the computer soon so when i get in from school i'll come back to this thread.

Your problem is

06:35:09.187 [system.io] [warning] open: :Ìæ?víI@Ÿ�‰@ is missing

and the only cure is a total ynuninstall/reinstall routine.

Thanks for the help both of you, + rep
