1. Does your friends PC, have problems with any other games...or...CD's???

2. Does your game disc, still work in your PC????

I tried W&W to my old computer and it says something CD-Rom read failure...
It helped when I downloaded new drivers to my CD-Rom.

Here´s somethings to check:

Right click my computer select properties. Click on the performance tab and look for the line that says filesystem and make sure it says 32-bit. If it´s not contact your CD-R supplier for the correct drivers.
Right click my computer and select properties. Select the device manager tab and click on the plus sign next to the CD-ROM entry. Double click on the CD-Rom drive and click the settings tab. Make sure that the start and the end drive letters are set to the correct ones for your CD-ROM drive.
Click Start-->settings>>control panel. Double click the multimedia icon. Click in the CD music tab. Make sure the assigned drive is the one your trying to play W&W from.
Insert any audio CD into your CD-ROM. If the CD doesn´t automatically start playing, click start-->programs-->accessories-->entertainment-->Windows Media Player. Try to play the CD. If the CD dowesn´t start playing you need to fix this. Try downloading the latest version of wmp.

Hey, your dragonship, isn't this in the Technical Answers thread? If not (and I didn't see it with a quick look, which may be because I'm starving), perhaps it's time to add it.

Hmm, no this one isn´t in the tech thread... I´ll put this in the "Pregame Issues" category, that´s yours Bungleau. Here´s what I´ll do. I´ll put the new html and add it on my tripod account for you to download and edit in [img]smile.gif[/img] . I´ll pm the URL to you tomorrow [img]smile.gif[/img]

Added a note to the index about "missing entries". Will that do?
