bell Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Steam is where you can download the game, you would have needed to have purchased it from Steam. If you do n ot have a DVD drive in your laptop then you cant install it as it is on DVD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUBI Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 You can buy and/or activate your game through steam. But to load the game from the disk you need a DVD drive. Unless you want to buy another digital copy... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bell Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 If the game seal isnt broken, you may be able to get a refund, then you can buy through Steam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninachan Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 thanxs lads! So you reckon i should get a refund and buy the game through steam then? How came you can play through steam without DVD drive...??? I am sorry I am terrible at using computers... I SUCK actually... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bell Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Steam is a download and online gaming service, basically you will pay them and then you can download a digital copy of the game and activate via their service too. It is a little bit more expensive than the boxed retail version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jod123 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Because you actually download a digital copy of the file from the internet of what is actually on the dvd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Neil Brock Posted November 16, 2008 Administrators Share Posted November 16, 2008 No bell, he can activate the game via Steam even if he's purchased the DVD. See this thread - http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=61380 It essentially says this: No, you can enter the game in steam using the game code you have from your purchased game. Open up Steam Go to My Games Go to Activate a product on Steam Enter your Activation Code found on the back of the manual. (Use http://keylookup.fm2009.softanchorinsight.com/ to see you got all the 0's and o's right) Steam should now download your game. Let us know how you get on. Thanks.

jod123 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 All you need to do is download steam if you don't already have it and follow what nbrocky said above. Then you should be able to play the game without the need for the dvd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bell Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Do as nborcky says. Download steam, sing up for a free account then do this: Open up Steam Go to My Games Go to Activate a product on Steam Enter your Activation Code found on the back of the manual. (Use http://keylookup.fm2009.softanchorinsight.com/ to see you got all the 0's and o's right) Steam should now download your game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninachan Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 OK, but if I refund the actual game i ve got, then where can i get the activation code found on the back of the manual? Or do they give me a new code for it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bell Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 No you dont need to get a refund, you can use your retain version in conjunction with Steam (you dont have to pay again. JUST IGNORE MY EARLIER POSTS Just do what i said in the last post. DO NOT buy the game again. DO NOT take your retail version back for a reund.

ninachan Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 Thank you! I will try it now! But Yesterday when I had no clue about this I actually tried to activate with this code i have on the back of my manual and it kept on going error and i m sure ive got the code right. everyone was telling me to put 0 instead of O or something but in my code there is no 0 or O if you know what i mean...

jod123 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I would imagine you would. You can install the game up to 5 times and that is without uninstalling it. Anyway glad to help.
