mine worked fine too. odd isnt it

Are you 100% sure that you've downloaded the correct one? There are 3 or 4 different versions, I thought I'd clicked on the English one but the file I downloaded was the German one. I've just gone back and scrolled to the bottom of the page where I found the English one. Just a suggestion. ps, I have finished downloading it yet so I'll tell ya later if it works.

Well, it doesn't work for me! I scrolled down to the UK one, downloaded it, still says Game CD not found. It looks like exactly the same file to me - same date, size everything. What is going on here?? Iain "R4" <[email hidden](spam)> wrote in message news:HMnD6.33173$3j.93689@news2-hme0...

It works as long as you have 'a' disc in your drive, doesn't have to be F1rc. When I first applied it I must have had a disc in my drive as all went well but a few days later I got the No cd in drive error and thought WTF. Took a awhile to put 2 & 2 together. Should be named 'any-cd patch' ;-) DN "Iain Mackenzie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:MRoD6.4095$[email hidden]... > Well, it doesn't work for me!

I thought the whole point of having a nocd patch was to lower the wear and tear on the cd drive.... dave henrie (and since my 40x Toshiba only lasted 15 months, don't tell me about my drive lasting for years) "David Noe" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:O9qD6.60$[email hidden]... > It works as long as you have 'a' disc in your drive, doesn't have to be > F1rc.

You're right! How weird! Hope that is sorted when the nocd patch for the new patch comes out.
