Hey guys,
I can't install Stardock Central. When starting the stardock_central.exe file the Wise Installation Wizard fires up, there's much activity on the harddrive (audible) and the task manager shows both the stardock_central.exe file and another one by the name of GLB##.tmp where ## stands for some number (apparently hex, since sometimes there's a E or C there as well). This latter file consumes between 20 to 50% of the processor time on my double core machine (which means one of the processors is quite busy with it). Nothing more happens. That can go on for minutes without any change, except that the processor usage seems to vary a lot, it's not continually 50%. Then after about 10 min windows fires up an error message telling me that the GLB##.tmp file is not a valid windows file. Doh.
Since this seems to be pretty rare and since you make it impossible to download and install the game without it, I'd like to know what to do next?
I have an older computer which installed Stardock Central just fine and shows me the option to install GalCiv II now, but this is not the one I'd like to use for this game. I saw the post about archiving the game once it's installed on another computer and then restoring it again - but still, I'd need Stardock Central for this, wouldn't I? Any ideas? Thanks for any help you can provide.
My system (the one that's making problems): AMD Opteron 165, 1 GB RAM, Asus A8N-E board, Asus Extreme N6600 Silencer graphics card with 256 MB RAM; WinXP SP2
cheers,
Helge
