Disney Cars error

[kd8aur]

Hello:
I have never had trouble installing a program before. I have not worked with more than a handful of games however.

When i loaded the THQ Disney Cars it said it loaded successfully, but when I launched it it wouldn't run.

I found this error somewhere along the way (I have already spend 5 hours on this!)------------

When I searched this forum, i found a similar error and this was suggested as a solution:

QUOTE It looks like some of the installshield files are missing from the CD.

For example, you get the java.io.FileNotFoundException error when a file with the specified pathname does not exist, or when an attempt is made to open a read-only file for writing.

Try copying the files from the CD onto the Hard drive and installing from there.

Is this an original or a copy?[/quote]
The person never replied. Mine is an original software. But I don't understand this directions well enough to execute them. Can you say more about whhich files to copy and where to put them? END QUOTE

I also found this error somewhere on my pc:

This is what THQ says about a video card:
"Cars only supports ATI or NVIDIA video cards. The latest drivers are required:

For best performance and video quality, please make sure you have the latest drivers for your video card when running Cars. If you have an ATI or NVIDIA video card, you can find drivers on their websites. http://www.ati.com/ http://www.nvidia.com/

Cars does not support on board video cards. If you using a computer with the video chipset on the motherboard then you may experience and number of problems running the game. "

If anyone can make sense of all this I thank you greatly in advance.

Out of reading all of that I could not find any info on the video card.
It does specify that you can only use nvidia, or ati video, from what
you posted it seems like its a onboard intel video device. I may be
wrong, I just kinda skim hijack logs, not my thing really. But if I am
wrong you may have a bad cd, or cdrom drive.
What you may try is this. Create a folder, call it Cars. I would put
this in a Temp directory if you have one out front in C: or D: preferably
if you have a partition for that or another harddrive. Put your Cars
cd in the drive, copy all contents of the cd into that New Cars folder.
Take the cd out of the drive. Go back to your Cars folder look for
setup and click on it, it may install from there, this has worked for me
in the past, no guarantees but worth a shot.

Thank you for your time with this.

I made a folder and copied all the files from the cd rom disc to the folder. It began running the installation wizard and then after a short bit it gave this error:
Install shield Wizard
java.lang.NOClassDef Found Error: run Exception in thread "main"
I hit ok and everything stopped and nothing was installed.
thanks again
