There Might be a "simpler" solution. Make sure your actual Game Disk is not damaged. They have inexpensive CD Disk Cleaners to buff out any scratches and abrasions. It sounds like your CD Drive is trying to read a damaged disk. Probally why your Autorun is not showing up.

Interestingly, no. It reacts like nothing's wrong.

Tried it, still nothing. Also, the autorun is showing up, it's just reacting as if the game's installed, but it's not. The cleaner I have isn't the best one, I've never really liked it. I'll try to get a better one (I've had my eye on a Disc Doctor for some time now).

I just noticed something interesting, STBC and the demo both show up in Add/Remove Programs, however they both take up the same hard drive space, and I can't get rid of them, either.

Sorry about the double post. BCMP does say that the Foundation mod isn't installed, and it asks if it should install it.

Hmm... what kind of error message do you get when you try to remove BC and the demo from Add/Remove programs?

"Unable to locate the installation log file 'E:\Program Files\Activision\Bridge Commander\stbc.isu' Uninstallation will not continue." For the demo, "Unable to locate the installation log file 'C:\Program Files\Activision\Bridge Commander Demo\stbc.isu' Uninstallation will not continue." This is probably due to the fact that I didn't uninstall both properly, and I seemingly can't fix it.

Hm. Well, I'm stumped. Sorry I couldn't help out more.

Believe me, you're not the first one. Funny thing is, BC worked perfectly before this.

Already tried it. That doesn't work either.

Have you tried uninstalling BCMP or BCMI.NET? They could be trying to find your STBC install and inturn 'tricking' your machine into thinking that STBC is still on there. The latest versions of BCMP and BCMI.NET are still really buggy so I would suggest getting rid of them, then trying to install STBC again. Im no expert at this so I might be wrong about the whole thing but if you've still got the BCMP and BCMI self-extracting (exe) setup files then it couldnt hurt to try what I said to you.
