hmm... I have a problem 05/25/2009, 19:23:29

Dunerider The War Troll writes: hello to everyone that I haven't talked to in a while I purchased MM8 from Soldout Software a LONG time ago. Essentially its the MM8 discs with the Soldout installer software as well... but you can access the setup.exe manually from the disc. The problem is that whenever I try to install the program, no matter if I do it manually or use the Soldout Software medium, the program shows up in my task manager under processes, but it does nothing. Setup.exe takes up about 2420K memory but never seems to do anything more. Any ideas?
