Disc Not Found??? H37p P70x!

[Vullerakk]

Ok I really dnt know whats going on with this, when i try to play its says "Please insert the correct cd-rom, select ok and restart application"

I have the game disc in, however i have two disc drives [d] and [e] e is the dvd drive and the one i am using to play the game disc. Could it be that the game only reads the one primary drive [d]? thats just a guess...

Try disabling the other disk drive and seeing if that helps.

(Start - Settings - Control Panel - System, click Hardware tab, click Device Manager button, expand the DVD/CDROM tree node, find the non DVD drive, right click on it, select Disable, reboot)

Might work. Re-enabling it is preceisely the same but click Enable on the menu rather than disable.

Umm, did you try using the other disk? There was a misprint with the early releases that labeled the play disk wrong, and instead, you needed the install disk for both playing and installing

I have the same problem. I mounted the DVD using Alcohol 52% as drive E: (the HD is C: and the DVD is D and installed on to the HD. I then ran it, got the initial loading screen, and then the same Please Insert The Correct DVD-ROM, Select OK And Restart The Application message. I've installed patch 1.61 over a fresh install, and no joy.

Civ3 was quite happy to run under Alcohol 52%. Is this some new lame-ass security mechanism? If I install the original DVD, then it runs just fine. If I remount the DVD image as D: and have the drive as E:, the error continues - it seems to really not want to work with A52%.

Help! I just want to run it on my laptop without having to have the DVD spinning away gobbling up the juice from my battery.

have you tried?

Civ 4 has SafeDisk 4.6 which you need to go around to be able to play the game with a mounted image. And dont even think of getting a no-dvd patch, since you wont be getting any of the overlays at all if you use it.

That did the trick... Tiny pain having to remember the extra step when playing Civ4 (especially with a legit disc), but I guess it's worth it to wring an extra half hour of gaming time out of the battery.
