COD2, cannot locate cd/dvd-rom

Posted: 08-24-2007, 11:32 AM
I am trying to run call Of Duty 2 on Vista Home Premium 32-bit on a newer
computer (Gateway Intel Duo Core E4300, Nvidia 8800 GTX, 2 MB Ram, all
drivers current). I previously was able to run it on XP, and this is the
first time I have tried to install it on Vista. After installing the game
and patching it to 1.3, I try to run it with Disk 1 in the DVD drive. i get
the following error message: Cannot locate the CD/DVD-Rom. Please insert the
correct CD/DVD-Rom, select OK, and restart application." Since the game runs
in XP, I know the disk is not bad and I am using the correct disk. I have
had this same exact problem with 2 other games: Madden 07 and Lego Star Wars
II. I was finally able to get those programs to work under vista, but it was
so long ago I forgot what i did to make them work right. I tried clicking on
the desktop icon and selecting to run in XP SP2 compatability mode, Run as
Administrator (first 1, then both changes), and didn't work. Also tried
uninstalling, removing from registry, and re-installing by also selecting the
comaptability and administrator modes on the setup.exe on the disk, and
didn't work. I know there is a fix out there as I was able to correct the
exact same problem with 2 other games, just can't remember what it was. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!
