Disk Detection Problem

[Nats]

Anyone have a problem with the disk detection. I have to keep opening my DVD drive to get my computer to recognise it has the correct disk in the drive yet MSFSX works fine every time. Once Ive reopened the drive it detects the disk and it works fine after that.

But Ive also been getting an error come up about the installer protection and was wondering if it was that. It comes up every time the game fails to recognise the disk.

Had this problem twice. It seems quite random to me. RTW showed the same behaviour sometimes.

Well...that was not really helpfull I guess, just want to say that you're not the only one with that problem.

Back then (in the days of rock'n....ehrm....rtw) I used to play it with an image (as there was no real protection this was / is not against the copyright in my country ^^) and it seemed to solve the problem completely.

Guess this is not possible with Medieval II?!? I'm not sure but I think it has a state of the art copy protection...

I have a similar problem, my game installs fine other DVDs work but when I try to play the game it says "cannot locate DVD please insert correct DVD"

@Nats and Sarge2008,

What programs do you have installed besides the game? Vista or XP? Are you trying to use copies instead of the original disc?

[sarge2008]

I am running windows xp pro and its the original copy of the game, all of my other games work and run fine, crysis warhead, stalker clear sky, the expansions to MTW2 will work but I cant play the vanilla game

Do you have it on a removable drive?

If you can play the expansoins, check youe Medieval2 disc for dirt, scraches, etc. That's the one that would keep you from play vanilla.
