So a friend of mine (currently not on RKC) is having a weird problem with his game.
He installed his Petz 5 CDs, but decided he only wanted Catz, so he uninstalled Petz, and reinstalled Catz 5.
But when he launched it, there were no toyz in the Adoption Center or in the rooms. Yet the toys he'd left out in the rooms previously (you know, before un\reinstalling) were still there. And the cabinets in the kitchen and such were randomly open. Another thing he noticed when he reinstalled it, was the loading bar as the game started up didn't say "Welcome to Petz 5" like it normally does when you install it for the first time. It just shows the regular text, as if it had already been installed.
Also, as I was putting this together, he said he tried uninstalling and reinstalling again (Dogz first, then Catz) and now Dogz toys show up in the Adoption Center, but not the Catz' toys. Yet the Catz work, so Catz is installed, to some degree. xD
When he plays minigames to get toyz and put them in the carrying case to keep them, the icons were invisible. He says he's had this glitch forever and wonders if he could have some residual Petz 5 bits left over from when he uninstalled.
He's run a CCleaner a few times and it didn't help. I would have suggested resetting the registry if this were an older Windows computer being used, but like me, he has Windows 10, and from what I'm finding on Google, there's no simple (if any?) way to do that on newer systems. He's running it as administrator, he tried PetzA (since it fixes 'stuff' xD) but that didn't seem to make a difference. Um...
I'm at a loss now, because it's a bizarre mess of bits and pieces. I thought maybe Catz didn't install right, but the Catz are there. And it wouldn't explain why toy icons aren't showing in the carrying case.
Does anyone know anything he can try?? Thanks in advance!
