Hi,

I wonder if you guys and gals can help me, I bought 'Brothers in Arms'
earned in blood the other day (sunday) and have not been able to load it, I
have tried nearly every microsoft trouble shooting and still no joy.

I have XP home.

Previously I had bought 'medal of honor' 'pacific assualt' and this would
not load either. I can however hear the disc/dvd attempting to start up when
loaded in the machine, I have also attempted to load a DVD which has
previously worked, but no joy.

When I click on the device, it claims to be working and a sign comes up
saying insert Disc/DVD, even tho it's already in there!!

Please help, I'm desperate to play it!!

Many thanks

Megagames.com

Gamecopyworld.com

gameburnworld.com

Go to these places and get a Nodvd patch. Just replace the exe with
the nocdexe. Save the original in a saved folder

All should be sweet then. Though i think you will not be able to play
online with the nodvd patch.

Hope this helps.

Sorry Alex,

I'm really thick, when I find a Nodvd patch for BIA, I save it to the
computer? and then try and load the game? (the disc goes into the dvd drive
but still nothing happens??

Many thanx for your patience

You have to place it where the original .exe is do run thegame.

Find it and replace it. Just save it first.

Right click on the shortcut on the desktop and slect properties the
one at the bottom. then look at target this will tell you where the
..exe is copy that to somewhere safe. Then just copy the nodvd over the
top should say ido you want to replace this file wiiththisone. Say yes
and all is done.

Just go back to the shortcut on the desktop and run thegame shoudl
work fine now

Iam sorry can't make it any less unterstanbdable.

Bye.

If the program did not install at all because the drive cannot read
the DVD, having a replacement exe will not help at all.

You need to test the DVD in another drive/computer to check that they
are not defective. If they read fine then you need a replacement
drive. Unless the DVD runs and install but from what you say the drive
cannot read them at all?

All the best!

Thank-you Katy and Alex,

Nothing will play on the DVD part of my tower, although it is making some
whirring sounds! I'm going to run a cleaning disk through it and if that
fails get a replacement drive, forgive me for being stupid, but would the
replacement generally mean that they take the back of the tower and just
replace the internal DVD drive?

Sorry for being a technophobe!!
Soren

Sorry thought he installed it and was unable to run it ??

iam a TOOL
