CS and XP - The How To Thread

[PhilVet]

I know if I have the Wf disk in i can only play WF scenarios & campaigns. The same goes for EFII & RS. But I keep getting the message To insert the correct CD-ROM after I luanch the game, pick ascenario to play and then start the scenario.
Again Windows XP Media Edition. Also I've tried all compatabity settings & modes.

Then, as noted previously, I believe it is a installation issue. Was it from your primary CD drive that you installed the games from? Do you have more than on CD/DVD drive?

I've run into this before and that was the issue.

Take care and good luck

I've run into this too, where your primary CD-drive is listed as an unusual letter, changing it to "D" for instance, fixed the problem.

I changed the drive letters and installed West Front & Rising Sun. When I start WF, I choose a scenario and i get a WF.icd error. I start Rising Sun and play a scenario it starts but when i click the first turn message box the screen goes black. I've tried different display modes but no luck. I haven't installed East front Ii.

I've got all 3 games installed and running. I disabled all the spyware when I run the games and disabled visual themes
for Rising Sun. Thanks to everyone!

Great to hear, Phil! Enjoy your gaming!

Jason, have you seen Mike Sheppard around anywhere?

No, I haven't seen Mike around in awhile, although when I return home I'll go through my emails and see if I have an address for you.

Hope you're doing well!

Thanks, haven't heard from him in awhile too. Saw him about 5 years ago when I was on a detail in his town.

I thought it was just you and him still playing the CS.

From what I remember. If you load up WF and play it you will create this file (WF.icd). You must delete it before you patch or you will get this error. If you do a fresh install and then patch without playing you should not get this error.

For starters you could remove the file and then try repatching. If it still isn't right try a fresh install, patch, then play.

I loaded up RS for a few memories tonight.
