Title: Can not even start.
Post by: Blazar on February 17, 2011, 21:02:54

Hi,
I just bought the game from amazon.uk.
After installing the game form the cd 1 and cd 2 i have patched it with the 1.01 patch.
When i want to start the game i get the message:Cannot locate the CD-ROM. Please insert the correct

CD-ROM, select OK and restart.

I have inserted both the CD 1 and CD 2, but it didn't work.
Tried the compatibility mode, win xp sp 2.

See compatibility mode for older programs to run win win 7 but using older windows as win xp.

(google)

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/316-compatibility-mode.html (http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/316-compatibility-mode.html)

Did not work either.

System specs: Win 7 ultimate, 64 bit, 6 gb ram, HD 4890.


I have searched the web for a sollution, alas without reslut.

Please help, any suggestions. Really want to play this game.

Well, that shouldn't happen...

Besides the well-known multiplayer issue (http://arparso.de/nexus/forum/index.php/topic,53.0.html) I've had no problems with Nexus on Windows Vista or Windows 7 x64 and never needed to use any kind of compatibility mode or anything like that.

Are you sure you need the 1.01 patch? At least the US version is already patched to that level, maybe others as well? Worth trying to reinstall and skipping the patch, I guess.

I can't really think of anything else, besides your cd drive somehow not being compatible to the copy protection checks used in Nexus.

If nothing else works, I see only two options for you:

• get the game on Steam for a few bucks and forget about the CDs
• you find some kind of no-cd-crack, the use of which is probably illegal in your country and thus I won't offer any download links nor endorse this method

Maybe somebody else has better suggestions!?


PS: I'm also moving this to tech support...

Hi,
I got the solution. Need to the deactivate the UAC and then reinstall. After that the compatibility check as described above. ;D
Played already for 9 hours straight. It's pretty difficult. Playing on experienced.
