I can play games while logged on as guest.

...You know, there's only one reason why games give you that error message, and it's because you're not using the original CD.

no but it is the the original CD

DoktorSeven · October 19th, 2002

I've seen this -- some games that won't run (especially with odd CD checks) on Windows NT-based systems running as a non-admin account... just the way the scheme was coded, I'm sure.
Getting around the CD protection could work, but I am not sure the board rules and/or the DMCA will allow me to say any more about it

Sometimes you need a NOCD crack. And no they are not illegal they just *alter* the startup code thingy. Search on the net. Or a fileshare program.

That could work i try it

psicomaniaco · October 19th, 2002

Do u have Deamon tools installed? Some games only reconize the first cd drive, and since deamon tools install a virtual drive b4 the real cd drive, some games will not work.

nope and the cd crack did not work either

Drack · October 19th, 2002

Did you do the full install option? Most NO-CD exe's require a full install in order for them to work properly.

what fo u mean even copied the music and other

DoktorSeven · October 19th, 2002

That's what I meant, the CD-crack thingy

I thought you'd pick up on what I meant.

Anyway, if you did a full install, tried the CD crack thing, tried the Daemon tools CD thing, etc, you're probably SOL without getting admin privlidges, sorry

i don't no how you do full install

Normally my gut reaction is that this would be warez and lock this thread immediately. However I did a bit of snooping around at westwood and yes this is a known bug:

Quote:

b. CDROM issues
If you have only a CD-Writer as a drive, it can cause a component of Tiberian Sun to fail. It is
suggested that a CD-ROM only drive be installed. Contacting the manufacturer of your drive might
help. There also seems to be an issue for those of you that are using a Plextor 32x SCSI CDROM (and
possibly other Plextor drives). There is no current fix for this, but we are aware of the issue and we are
working on it. You might have some luck contacting Plextor and asking for new drivers. The newest
update, version 1.17.1, fixes many of the issues associated with these types of errors.

My advice would be to try the bugfix @

no but i have a dvd and cd rewriter seperty not a combo with win 2000 pro

**Shiori** · October 20th, 2002

Like what has been said, Tiberian Sun needs to be run on a CDROM drive, not a DVD nor a CDRW IF you don't have the patch.

So get the patch.
