CD not found error - (Read this for problems with CD drive after patching)

[ainwood]

Hope this isn't public discussion.. But it's slightly off-topic, I guess.

Do you mean editing out them of quotes, or editing them out from posts where you used them?

(Asked in public mostly so others would know as well.)

Either using them yourself, or editing them out from one of your posts after a moderator has added them.

Only one and that can't be change in position

Still waiting for the patch

If that patch would come any slower I would probably just send my hardrive to Atari so they could put the patch in.

 

[Aabraxan]

Still no response whatsoever from Atari . . .

Whoisme, how long have you been waiting?

 

[Turner]

Keep in mind some people never get one. It's up to Atari who gets one and who doesn't. I haven't heard of too many people getting one. Yeah, it's happened, but rarely.

Sorry didn't mean to make a scene. How about - am I allowed to offer myself as a contact for those needing to troubleshoot this problem?

Nope. This forum will not be a venue for piracy.

I just installed Civ III complete (US version purchased at Wal-Mart) and am getting the "original disc could not be found or authenticated" error every time I try to run the game.

I called tech support (and they said to copy the cd into a folder on the C drive and install the game in "safe mode" from the hard drive but it didn't help.

Has anyone solved this problem yet?

Please advise.

I got the same instructions from someone at K2 in the UK and likewise it didn't work. I'm not sure what problem they are trying to fix with that, but it doesn't work for this issue.

akd835,
It sounds like your problem similar to the problem I had. I have two CD drives and if I put the game disk in the second one, it works like a charm. The second one is neither the drive that I installed from, nor is it the one the one that I would normally put a game diskl in. I realize that this may or may not do you any good, but I thought I'd offer it up in case it might help. Good luck.
