ME Problems?

Yes, you do need the disk in the drive. Which worries me, because in my CD drive the Starfury disc makes a LOT of noise. It doesn't like certain CDs, and Starfury appears to be one of them.

EDIT: that and the auto-run tries to install SF every time you put the disc in..

That's exactly what's happening to my computer, noise and all. I'll see about opening that ticket Tim Brooks talked about.

Let me make it clear, for me it does work despite the noise. Try burning a copy, for me the copy is quieter.

Yeah, it does seem to require you use the CD. My laptop asks me to put it in when it is not present. The very first time I ran the game, it did not detect the cd but after reinserting it, things worked fine. I use Windows XP Professional.

I do suggest imaging the CD to your hdd and creating a virtual cd drive
I do this alot as my CD drive is slow and sometimes causes my machine to play up

How does one "image" a cd to the HD?

Well it seems this is not just an ME problem

I'm having the same problems as Gregebowman with my 98 system with both CD drives! No matter how many times I reinstall or change the drive nothing else happens. (Just to note Autoplay is off)

So does anybody have any ideas how to solve this or get around it. Please post if you have had the same problem and solved it (or even not

). Hopefully this will be fixed in the patch if it is to difficult to get around.
