GTR 2002 No CD?

When I installed GTR 2002 I pointed it at my no CD exe file, but it still demands the CD when it starts up. Apparently it comes with its own custom exe. I suppose it is too soon to be able to find a no CD crack for this, but does anyone know of a workaround? And before somebody flames me, yes I do own the game, I just don't like having to load a CD for every game I play.

I've been using the no-cd from day one and the mod works fine. Have you made sure the shortcut is pointing to the nocd file and not the original exe?(I also turned off the two intro movies to save myself two or three seconds each time it boots) dh "Haqsau" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:asdrcf$qcmto$[email hidden]...

GTR 2002 never asked me for the CD. Did you apply the NO-cd exe before the install of the mod? -- karkrazy AT softhome DOT net http://karkrazy.m4driving.sm

The shortcut that the mod installed points to the GTR2002.exe, not to the F1 2002 exe. Did you make your own shortcut? I suppose I could try that.

NM I figured it out. Apparently "F1_2002.exe" is hardcoded into the GTRacing2002.exe. So in my case, since I kept the original exe and was using a F1_2002_noCD.exe instead, it wasn't finding it. I just changed the name and now it works fine. "cc" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

"F:\program files\EA SPORTS\F1 2002\GTRacing2002.exe" config= or you could save a step and point the shortcut to gtrun.exe dave henrie

make sure all the stuff in the gtr config ini file from below gridsize = matches your original f1 file called config.ini dave henrie

That sounds a little different. Make sure you are running the shortcut that GTR installed in the F1 2002 directory. I'm not sure if it will work if you just run GTR.exe directly. Anyway, in my case I had two executables in there before, an F1_2002.exe and an F1_2002_noCD.exe. Normally I ran the noCD exe, but I saved the other one in case a future patch required it. When you run the shortcut for GTR it runs GTR2002.exe, which apparently then runs F1_2002.exe with some command line arguments to get it started correctly. So in my case it was running the original file, which required the CD. So I changed the name of F1_2002.exe to F1_2002.exe.0 and then changed the name of F1_2002_noCD.exe to F1_2002.exe, so that now the GTR program will run my no CD exe instead. Works fine. Except this looks like a really good way to lose a lot of sleep. ;o) "Aidee" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ase8bn$ufc$[email hidden]... > Haqsau...lol....could you explain that in a little more detailplease...?
