Uh, it wants you to put in the CD :) This is required for multiplayer games. -Larry

Ah, that's different :) Is it a CDR drive? Some new copy protection methods used by game compaines don't work right with CDR drives, and this is becomming a big problem with more and more folks using CDR drives as their primary CD ROM drives. If this is the case, I'd buy a cheap IDE CD-ROM drive to act as a *** drive, as it doesn't appear the game companies are going to back down on this one. -Larry

Actually, the drive I installed it from *is* my CDRW drive. If I now put it in my cheapy 24x Creative Labs CD drive, no go. Many, though not all, games log the drive they were installed from. They then require you to use that drive. Unless, of course, you edit the file & enter the other drive designator. ;-) -- Chuck Kandler #70 ChuckK or KS70 on Won.net K&S Racing http://www.fortunecity.com/silverstone/thepits/195 The box said "Windows 95 or better", so I installed LINUX!

Your CDRW only reads at 6x? Ouch!! Got me a CL 4224 a few months ago for $240. Reads the same as my vanilla CD drive, 24x. Problem was, it then became my 5th IDE device & I had to disconnect one. So my third hard drive (5.1GB) had to go, my Linux drive! I'm considering an IDE card (I think they're PCI's?), cuz I've been going thru Penguin withdrawals!! -- Chuck Kandler #70 ChuckK or KS70 on Won.net K&S Racing http://www.fortunecity.com/silverstone/thepits/195 The box said "Windows 95 or better", so I installed LINUX!

>Your CDRW only reads at 6x? Ouch!! When I bought it is was as fast as they came and I paid 450$ for it, besides. My install of Mandrake 6.0 is on /hdb1, about 1.4G of a 6.4G drive. Add a 78M swap (256 meg in the machine..like I need this swap space), second 1.4G ext2 partition and a 3.4G FAT32 partition (drive G: in Windows) within an extended partition and you have the whole drive. /hda is a 20.4G drive with a 5.5G fat32 C: partition and three more fat32 partitions (D:, E:, F:) in an extended partition with E: being my "sims partition" of 3.71G with only 218M free..(yikes). My regular CD is IDE on its own channel and my CDRW is SCSI. I had a JAZ drive on the SCSI card, but it was useless and I yanked it. It also runs my scanner. Now if I can just stop typing "ls" when I want to know what's in a directory in a dos box I will be all set. ~daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

Yepp, that's the new marketing strategy: Screw the paying customer, to stop some kids pirating a game (for a week, until the doodz make the patch). l8er ronny -- The box said "Windows 95 or better", so I installed LINUX! |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

Ok, if the drive letter changed on you, just use the device manager listing to assign the CD the old CD-ROM drive letter. If, of course, the movement of the drive letter is the problem. For this very reason, every single Windows Installation I run immediately gets the CD Drive set to drive "Z". That way, it can't get bumped or moved. Or, another drive if a Novell Public directory is being mapped there by a login script. -Larry

I'd say that it has more to do with your Win95/98. If you open explorer and look at the drive label on the cd before you start the game, you will probably notice that windoze never bothered to read the cd. If after inserting the cd you go to explorer, left click the my computer icon in the LEFT pane, then on the menu, do a view refresh, you will then see the volume label of Nascar3 on the CD and you may go play online all you like.

Actually, I have l, lc, & ls.bat files on my system, as well as a "dir" rwxr xr x set up as a script on mine. I'll be go to hell if i'm typing commands for Unix, Xenix, and DOS and try to remember which os I'm on. Telnet from a dos box into a Unix machine to a shell and then shell back and forth to DOS and try to remember then... I'm laughing thinking about it and I've done it recently at a customer site. >> Now if I can just stop typing "ls" when I want to know what's in a directory
