O.K., I recently brought painkiller and it all went swimmingly until yesterday.

First, I tried installing Battle out of Hell, which kept asking me to swap disks when the installation was 95% complete, causing the setup to fail. So I stopped trying to install it.

Then, I installed the 1.62 patch, after which Painkiller didn't work. I'm not sure which of the two caused the failure, but now it doesn't work.

So, I then removed the patch and deleted it (partly to try and reverse the failure, partly to not have to unlock all Tarot cards to unlock trauma difficulty).

Now, it doesn't run, whenever I try to run it, a light blue screen shows up and I get the "painkiller has encountered an error" message.

Can I get some help, please?

Not sure how much help you're gonna get here, this is for the digital version of the game available from GOG. I will try, though.

Totally delete everything that was installed related to Painkiller. Next, install Painkiller. Next, BEFORE INSTALLING ANY PATCHES install Battle out of hell. Here's the important part: If it asks for another disc, put the Painkiller vanilla disc in.

Patch up AFTER you install both the game and expansion. I hope this helps, let us know what happens.
