| 739627 | 2009-01-16 23:27:00 | Hi guys (and gals) I'm having an issue with installing my Battlefield 2 game on my computer, I have installed the game and the patch needed for updates and this is where my problem begins. When I try to open the game I get the "Please insert cd into cd-rom and restart application" window.... yes I do have the cd in place... and that's as far as I can go, I've read on many forums about similar problems and have tried all there solutions but none have worked (9 hrs of reading and trying solutions) Any help will be much appreciated... |

| 739629 | 2009-01-16 23:42:00 | Perhaps there is a way you could make it run without the CD hey driftwood, yes I tried all of that too using daemon tool and alcohol 120% a friend suggested it was something to do with vista as the game is a legitament copy that I bought from a shop...(sigh) this is becoming a real headache....:groan: |

| 739630 | 2009-01-16 23:43:00 | Thats probably why, dont use daemon tools, use a real cd/dvd Or take it back / send an email to whoever made the game |

Another vista problem I've read about but I really can't understand this one as these are legimate cd's not crack's or copies..? |

| 739632 | 2009-01-16 23:58:00 | I run a dual boot XP & Vista so I can run all that older stuff. If it won't run on vista in XP compatability mode you may have to look at that too. |
