Not only is it a separate slave drive or just a partition on the same disk but, have any of the letters for your other drives changed? We kinda need this info in order to be able to give you the PROPER instructions to fix your problem.\n\nHowever, by reading your question, carefully, I'm wondering if your cd drive was being called "D" drive. If it that's the case and it continues not to read cds you put in it, you may have to take your puter into the shop and have the connections on the hardware checked as well as the reader on the cd-rom drive itself.

if its the game then get a no cd crack ( i will let you search for that since half the time you will end up getting spy ware  / viruses doing that ) the best alternative is to use virtual cd or something like this :\n\nhttp://www.virtualcd-online.com/\n\nDo a google search you will find lots of alternatives :) ;) ;)

Yea, either add/remove programs, or an uninstall link in the program group, OR if all fails find the folder on the hard drive and delete it. Then reinstall. \n\nOh, also: maybe insert the CD. Some programs have an uninstall link on the autorun of the CD.

Bung one in the drive and see what happens.\n\nIf it doesn't play automatically, go to My Computer and double click on the CD Drive.

Sounds like your having a RAM problem, You could try adjusting the games you are playing, so that they don't use up so much of the memory in 1 whack, other than that, unless you install more ram then ye can't play yer games\n\nR3dm0

I would un-install and re-install it to see if that helps. \n\nG.G.

If you have the old drivers, try reinstalling them, and then trying to do an uninstall from Add/remove programs. I'm guessing some of the installation files have been deleted by chance.\n\nIf that doesn't work, there are utilities available that should do that for you. Like\nhttp://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=167\nHaven't used it myself, though.

if it is an installed game try installing it again, and if that doesn't work contact the help people from the game's manufactures.

You ought to set your autorun value to zero on your cd rom... otherwise the computer content of some cd's will... well, autorun and load programs that can crash your computer or affect your computer in very bad ways.\nOne CD manufacturer got into trouble recently with a lawsuit as I understand it as they were installing RootKit Changes on computers... an innocent person pops a cd in their drive just to play it and then POOF they have a corrupted system file that not only affects their drive of their cd burner, but also gives hackers something to work with.\nAlso, don't ever download games, videos or players that come "free" with a cd or dvd... do you really think they are giving you free stuff? \nAt this point you might want to reformat your harddrive and reinstall all your software. And be more careful next time.

Try this method. Insert a disc in the drive, then right click on the drive letter and select "properties".\n\nFrom the window, go to the "autoplay" tab, and select the desired option for each disc type (browse the drop down menu). This should work

ah newbies :-)\n\nif you dont have anything valuable on your Disk, boot up your computer in Dos prompt or Comamnd Prompt or Safe made then open Command Prompt.\n\nWhen your in there run the command \n"Chkdsk" this will scan your C drive for errors.\n\nif it still doesnt work try "fdisk". Its another utility to help "seperate" them. \n\nIf your not comfortable playing around with your computer, start it up regualry, right click C: (or w/e hard drive) Properies tools, Check for Errors or something along those lines it should be under Defragmat. \n\nCheck "fix automatically" \nIt will say "its in use check disc next time the system rebbots"  click yes\n\nnow reboot, you can expect you computer to be doing this for at least an Hour.\n\ngood luck

Use 'Virtual CD'.. This helps u with that ;-)\n\n And also a few software (like games), need the original cd inside for them to run. This also helps in faking that and makes the S/W work without the C.D/D.V.D

Ok, first things first!\n\nCheck that you got the latest Graphics Card Drivers installed. (http://www.ati.com or http://www.nvidia.com)\n\nAfter that, uninstall the game COMPLETELY, make sure the Folder it was installed to, is removed too.\n\nNow, REINSTALL the game, if you can, change the Installation Folder to a different one than were the previos version was installed to. After installation, go to their website, and look for an UPDATE on that game, that might fix some issues with the game or your graphics card.\n\nDo not install any NO CD Cracks/Fixes..... sometimes, those cracked executables have faulty codes!\n\nDont run any other third party programs that effect in any way the game, like Trainers!\n\nIF the game then starts up, you can still try to run it with any Trainer. If it still does not start, try to make a Disk Check (run the Dos Box and type chkdsk C: where C is the harddisk the game is installed too) or any other program you got. Might be that you HD has some Bad Sectors.\n\nAnd thats bout all the Advise i can give to you.
