i have downloaded the ATI driver software for the umpteenth time and each time i got the language screen but no 'next' prompt. i think i am destined to NEVER install the driver. robert.

As you not being able to see the Next to prompt, this might be just a stab in the dark but worth a try since this happened to me several times, because of my Screen Resolutions default , many times I cannot see the Next or Accept or Print function because it is at the very bottom of the Screen and it is not visible, and the Only work around is to Right Click on the Taskbar, choose Properties and then choose Auto Hide the Taskbar, doing this would give me more Real estate on my screen and would allow me to see these hidden functions.

Best of luck and I hope you find a solution.

thanks, Starcom, i was able to access the 'next' button. robert.

hi Jenny100. i got so fed up with the problem i experienced playing Syberia1 i so decided to unstall and try again. now Syberia1 will not re-install. it is the same disk i am using. what do i have to do to re-install in Win7? it used to be so easy with XP. robert.

Have you tried using ccleaner to "Scan for Issues?"

Ccleaner should be able to find and delete anything the game uninstall left behind.

hi Jenny100. i downloaded and used Ccleaner. it did not work as used. now i'm stuck with a Syberia disk i cannot load. robert.

Did you run Ccleaner more than once?
You have to run it and "fix issues" and rerun it until there are no more issues.

Also make sure the Syberia folder is deleted before you use Ccleaner. It probably installed to C:\Program Files (or C:\Program Files(x86) if you have 64-bit Windows) so look for it there. If it's there, delete it manually. It's probably in a subfolder of C:\Program Files that's named after the publisher -- possibly
C:\Program Files\Microids\Syberia

Also, make sure you click on Registry and run CCleaner on the registry too. I've had bits of a programs left in the registry cause a reinstall to not work.

Yes, as Draclvr says, make sure you're running the Registry cleaner which is marked "Registry." The thing that's marked "Cleaner" only clears temporary files, which won't do you any good. What keeps games from reinstalling is garbage left in the Registry, not temporary files.

hi Jenny100. i don't see anything called 'registry'. how do i get to it? robert.

Robert, when you open up CCleaner, there are 4 "icons" on the left. The top one is Cleaner, the next one is Registry, and the last two are Tools and Options. Click on the Registry one and run it.

Look at the picture on the website I linked to above in Post #857585 (7 posts up from this one)

See how the second icon down on the left is named "Registry?"

hi Jenny100. hooray, i got Syberia to install again! now to start over but that's o.k. THANKS TO EVERYONE. robert.

I'm curious, Robert... was the reason it worked because you ran CCleaner on the Registry?

i think so, Draclvr. i followed your and Jenny100's steps after downloading Ccleaner. robert.
