Naked Snake Posted August 3, 2004 If you have more than one CD-ROM drive, try putting the CD in the first drive. 0 Share this post Link to post
Szymanski Posted August 3, 2004 Doom3 uses copy protection which doesn't always work well with older cd drives, so as BBG says try another drive if possible. 0 Share this post Link to post
Deathmatcher Posted August 3, 2004 Go to your drive vendor´s site and look for the latest firmware. Diablo II wouldn´t recognize my drive until I updated my firmware. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lord FlatHead Posted August 3, 2004 Or you could try looking for a no-cd crack of some kind if all else fails. 0 Share this post Link to post
sandmanfvr Posted August 3, 2004 no-cd cracks are the best. I will get one when I get home. 0 Share this post Link to post
tkmaster Posted August 3, 2004 if your system has more than 1 cd drive some games tend to want to use the drive that comes first in the drive lettering 0 Share this post Link to post
chaosmaker Posted August 3, 2004 if your system has more than 1 cd drive some games tend to want to use the drive that comes first in the drive lettering It doesn't default to the first driver letter, the default is the drive it's installed from, maybe you have alcohol, blindwrite, Nero or clonecd installed, something that uses a virtual drive, you might want to un-install that 0 Share this post Link to post
