ZGI read write error possible solution

Post by chucksaw1962 »

I was playing ZGI on Windows Vista and had already got all three of the artifacts, I then got the dreaded read write error. I deleted all the files and reinstalled. I had used about ten restore points and this is when I started getting the error message. Once I reinstalled I limited my restore points and everything worked fine. Hope this will help.

Sorry about the delay in responding. Good work diagnosing the problem! Since you were able to run most of the game correctly, it's likely this wasn't a "running the game under Vista" issue. It sounds like the system restores broke something and the reinstall fixed it. For other with similar problems, I recommend a reinstall to fix the problem. I'll make a note of this issue and include it in a future update of my installation guides.
