Any way, i put disc in once it installed good and i started modding, except it still had all the information from about 2 years ago from when i had it on my laptop last.

So when i went to check it out and oddly enough it gave me an exception error, so i went to see what was wrong, after 3 hours of trying to fix it i decided to re install completly.
But when i did it gave me and error saying that it could not install sidwinder.map, so i clicked retry, then it gave me an error on timberland.

I've even got rid of all hidden files/folders and still there is a problem please will some one help me, if not then i am DOOMED!!!
Edited your post to make it feasibly more easier to read.

That is a damn long sentence. UNinstall and then install the game.

sounds to me that you have a scratched CD. Typicly when it gives you an error on maps, like in all games, it means you have a scratched CD. At least from what you are describing.

If Bigshot is correct then just go buy a new disk at Best Buy or Wal Mart, they're not too expensive
