276554 2004-09-29 00:19:00 Ok I did look at the other posts and have done what they said. However I installed the game fine brand new and no problems, but when I went to play the game it kept saying to insert the correct cd and then restart the application. Now I tried both of my cd roms and all of the game disks but it still won't run.

Now according to the other posts I needed to get rid of clonecd, which I have done and also alcohol, I do have nero still installed. Can you tell me what the problem may be. I am running windows XP and have a DVD writer and Cd writer both of which are lite-on.

276555 2004-09-29 01:45:00 i have had this prob with games aswell. it seems to be only to do with EA games. apparently their is a patch you can install available from SafeDisk, i used it, but it did nothing for me.

i think it has somethng to do with the order of the drive names. but don't hold me to that.

if you do a google search with your problem you will come across forums that have your same problem (as i have done) and you might be able to find a solution.

cheers.

276558 2004-09-29 02:25:00 That is going to be my next attempt if I can't find another answer. Do you happen to know what seetings I need to set in order to rip an image of the Cd so I can use it?

Although I must say I find it damn annoying that I have to resort to copying a legitimate bought and paid for game just so I can pay for it. I mean copy protection is all fine and dandy but when it means that legitimate owners can't even play the game all it is going to do is encourge them to obtain pirate versions.

Been trying to find a NO-CD crack that works and isn't a virus or key logger and have not as yet had any luck, if you have one then let me know where to get it. I have also written to EA GAmes asking them what I can do to get the game going and if they can't help me then i will return the game to the shop and go support the pirates (bet that gets a rise out of them :D )

276563 2004-09-29 02:47:00 hmm...i sent ya a link but after some reading it apears there maynot be a 100 percent working crack available.

That copy protection sure is a double edged sword,took about 12 minutes for the entire game to be released onto the warez scene,and seriously aggrevated many legit users of the game.

Champions.
