I'm not sure what version it is, it was on the pc when I bought it yesterday.
It's a Sony Vaio if that helps.
For some reason it's put Wolfenstein in a folder called Program Files (x86)
I've never had that happen before.

I've reinstalled it now and put it in Program files but it still wont load.
It says I'm missing essential pak files.
Not sure what they could be as it looks ok.
Puzzling !

You are using a 64bit operating system which is basically faster, supports more memory, processors etc etc. So all the old programs like ET that are meant for 32bit operating systems go to the other program files folder.

but 64 doesnt support all 32bit apps/games etc. and vice versa
