PCFormat Forum Archive

Good day,

I purchased the January 2014 issue of the PC Format mag yesterday just to find the disc does not read well on my computer. Firstly, the autostart crashes (after eventually trying for about two minutes). Secondly, I tried installing 3D Mark that is on the disc and near the end of the installation I get a message stating that the installation is corrupt (even when copying the installation over to my HDD and installing from there).

I was so excited to try the new software provided by the disc on my new PC (I don't have internet at home) but am now very disappointed.

My DVD drive is a Liteon iHas324.

Could it be a faulty disc, faulty software, or faulty DVD drive? Anybody else having these issues?

Bummer that.

Hi, I'm posting here because it relates to Disc content.

I purchased the Feb 2014 mag (issue 203). I tried installing DoubleCad XT supplied but the installer prompts for a serial. could you please advise what i need to do? do I have to register and obtain a serial from the dev's?

thanks.
