    For some unknown reason i can install a game, but when i try to run it it comes up saying it cannot locate the cd, insert the correct cd etc, please help cause i do want to play bf1942 :(

    The CDROM is a Liteon LTN 527T

    I also have a CDRW installed

    This happens on nearly all game now, all cd's dont have scratches on

    Sims 2
    Battlefield 1942
    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004

    Could be a copy protection thing. Try removing CloneCD, alcohol 120%, or any other rogue cd copy app.

    If u can install the game with the CD-ROM then it is not your CD-ROM that is causing the problem!!!

    Does it happen only if u try to play the game by inserting the CD ??

    If u get an error "cannot locate the cd, insert the correct cd" ........ then probably u are using a wrong CD :D:D ........... are they original CD's of the game ??

    If u are using a cracked version and fail to copy the "crack" ........ u get the same type of error ............ *ssshhhhhhh* can't talk about cracked games .... :D
