The latest in my GF’s laptop gaming saga… copied & pasted from the Eidos & TTLG forums… I’m getting desperate and going nuts trying to find answers for her… My GF’s new Gateway laptop won’t/can’t install her THIEF GOLD and other THIEF games. She tried the “:\setup.exe -lgntforce” several times at it kept stalling at 94%. She did think she had them installed before but now finds no sign of them. So she’s trying again with this 94% stalling as the result. Here are her specs- any ideas of what to do?
