Simply lower your RF screen resolution on the setup page and it will work fine  |

What, you moved them.  The game will still read the multiplayer levels that you place on the single folder. 
If you have a zero bit file then it will still give you an error. Look for a zero bit file, if you find one...DELETE IT!
If you decide to reinstall the game, delete the 2 keys in the registry that relate to Red Faction.
They are:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Volition
&
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Volition
If you "delete" the main Red Faction folder manually then "delete" these 2 keys also. |

oh I didn't read | Quote | | moved all maps from my multi and single folder," |
Rename multi and single to multi2 and single2.
Create 2 new folders and give them the names multi and single..so you have 2 empty folders for RF. Try it now.
Have you patched the game?
Any changes made on RF.exe, ui.vpp?
(a device may be a harddrive or not?  )
Do you have 2 harddrives and installed Red Faction on another driver before? (perhaps the game is searching files on D: but cant find because its all on C: now I dunno if that can happen though..)
delete the player.cfg files from the root folder. |

Those entries only pertain to the game. it's pretty safe to delete them after you un-install the game if they get left behind. *

And since frank told you what to get rid of, you now know what your doing |
