Guest icart89 Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 I got my computer back about a week ago with a new hard drive since the old one was failing. I planned on installing a game but when I put the cd in, some lights would flicker, and then nothing happens. I tried in the CD and DVD ROM, disabled McAfee On-Access Scan, and tried to run it but I can't because my backslash key does not work. When I push it, I get a W with a line going through it horizontally, instead. On my old harddrive(with less memory), the game installed just fine. (Old harddrive/ware? had 200, new one has 250) I know playing a game isn't the most important thing in my life, but my sister paid $238 for the new harddrive so I want it to work. Please help. Thanks for reading, Traci
