I already had the Spore on my PC (but I reinstalled the windows xp).

And I having some problems to update to Creepy and Cute (actually, the problem is the patch to version 3); don't detect the Spore instalation... I already tried to restore the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\SPORE values, but fail.

Any help?

As it'll say in my 'C&C Broke Spore!' thread, first 2 times I've installed C&C was a sucess (meaning it detected Spore) bulalala time after reinstalling Spore it wont detect it, and I don't have Creature Creator, so does this mean I'll have to reinstall it AGAIN? or is there any other way? Thanks for the help

I just noticed, Creepy&Cute and Creature Creator are both "CC".... wow I'm stupid.

Well I don't want to have to keep on reinstalling it as it may come to some limit i keep hearing about.

Creepy and Cute = C&C

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling?

Does it mention Miscrosoft Visual C++ in the error message? I've had a quick look on the internet and that seems to be popping up a lot.

There's a list of solutions on here:

Spore problem; apparently caused by latest patch (Windows Vista)

But I cannot be certain how successful and safe these are.
