Hi,

I bought FARCRY3 DVD for my laptop and I installed in other drive (Other than OS installed drive).

After few months my OS got problem and I have to format my C://(OS installed) drive and I did that.

After reinstalling OS my game showing that it is not found (or some dll is missing) try to re-install it but unfortunately my DVD drive got scratches and it is loading only half of the portion.

My question is "How to save the full working game (I thought even though I'm installed this game in other drive but some dll's/files stored in C:// Drive).

(Note: If I copy my game in my laptop it is increasing my harddisk memory[setup files + installed game] so I don't want two setups)

I would like to save my game without re-installing one more time.

Thanks You

open c drive and type the name of the game ,so that you can see all the files associated with that game. make a copy of each and save on another drive. it may helps you.
after reinstalling os, the files missed in associated with games are mostly directx files(like dxd9_42.dll etc).to solve this,download directx ,copy it to game directory and run setup

Thanks for the reply, this is what I wanted. You mean to re-install directx eventhough I already have. I mean where exactly these files are stored during setup installation. Once again thanks for valuable information.
