SCGT can't find my CD ROM Drive

I just installed a second hard drive onto my system, which of course moved my CD-ROM drive designation from D: to E:. I've been able to change where most of my desktop shortcuts point to by right clicking on them and changing the "Start In" setting. Unfortunately, SCGT's "Start In" setting points to C:, but it continues to look for the CD in Drive D. Is there a way to get SCGT to find the CD ROM drive on E, short of re-installing the whole thing? I really don't want to go thru that if I can help it, since I have the Service Pack 3 installed, and it took me awhile to get it working properly the first time. Any help would be appreciated.

Otherwise you're probably going to have to reinstall. Gunner

Open the registry to the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Image Space Inc\Sports Car GT Click to open DirAnim and change to new drive letter. Click to open InstallFromPath and change to new drive letter. Slot

Thanks. I followed your instructions, and they worked like a charm!

I set my CD-ROMs (and DVDs, ZIP-drives etc) up as X:, Y: or Z: to avoid problems everytime I add or remove a harddrive, then I always known which drive it is. Can't imagine getting enough harddisks for them to be assigned W: and X: for quite some time :-) -- Arne Martin
