Default Re: Problem with CD Drive Letters: CONFIRMED!

gregebowman,

If you have only one CD drive, it doesn't mean you can't remap the drive. But, you'll just have to be very careful to remap back to Z: when you want to use one of the other apps you installed from Z: (ones that require the CD in the drive). You'd probably also want to remap back to Z: whenever you install new software. Also, just be careful because if you ever needed the Windows CD or MS Office CD in there for drivers, etc., your Windows registry will only recognize them coming from Z:

It's a bit of a pain but if you REALLY want to play the game now, mapping back and forth will tide you over until Aaron can patch it.

One final thing, if Aaron just removes the CD check in the patch, we're good. If he doesn't, but just fixes it to include all drive letters, we'll have to uninstall, remap our CDs back to where they were, and then reinstall. You'll need to make sure to copy your save games so they don't get wiped out in the uninstall. Needless to say, I hope he just removes the CD check.
