Video Game "CARS" from DISNEY PIXAR

The 4th of september, there was a question from "teamccloud" about dysfunctional running CARS video game after downloading OS X update.

I have already downloaded OS 10.4.8 and now I have the same problem.

I mean, when the game is loading, the screen changes, as if getting ready to start, but then it quits.

Can anyone tell me where to get a downloadable patch, as it was the previous answer but without link to get it ?

Thank you for your help

IMAC INTEL CORE DUO Mac OS X (10.4.8) Purchased in october 2006

The link seems good, but after downloading I have an other problem.

Now, the application ask me for the disk while it is present.

It may be because I have the french version of the game.

What do you think about ?

It is nice to you to try to help me.

The french link was a good way to get information about the game and how to play it.

However, the demo version and the patch are the english ones. More, they are older than the version I have bought.

I have tried to install the demo version and the problems are exactly the same than with my DVD.

I think all of this is related to the upgrading to OS 10.4.8 system. I musn't be alone in this case.

I've sent a mail to THQ and wait for their answer.

Happy new year (soon...) and thanks again

Hi Chris,
Jumping in on the conversation. I experienced the same problem running "Cars" after downloading the OS X update. Only thing is I downloaded the patch and updated the file but it still wont run. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Hi People
After running around looking at other forums I found this solution which worked for me.

The problem with the "Intel patch" is it seems to be looking for Disk Two instead of Disk One even though CARS is a single DVD.

To get around this you need some way to access the Hidden "Volumes" folder in the Root of your Hard Drive. I used a Utility called Onyx. Once you can see that Folder open it with the Cars DVD in the drive and make an alias of the Disk One volume in that folder and name it Disk Two.

You should now be able to start cars without the error.

It seems you have the key.

Where did you got the Onyx Utility ?

Thanks

Hi everyone

De Jay has got the key.

I've done it and the game is going on.

The ONYX utility is a free sofware. Anyone can download by this link

Hi, I bought Disney-Pixar Cars game (Italian version)
At the end of the installation (completed succesfully) appears this message:

in italian
"La procedura guidata InstallShield ha installato correttamente Cars. Fare clic su Fine per uscire dalla procedura guidata.Sono stati generati i seguenti messaggi di avvertenza:
• Il controllo dello spazio su disco richiede il supporto nativo di servizio dei file."

I've also made the download of cars intelUpdater.I've done patch.At the end this message appears: "patch completed succesfully".
Could you help me to solve this problem( Cars for my children up and running!!) Thx!
