Please insert DVD

Hey folks, I bought AoP2 a couple days ago, installed it but when I go to play the game I get the message to insert the DVD into the drive (which most definitely is in the drive, I checked four times lol). It's the English version 1.3. I've noticed that the game uses TAGES copy protection which is notoriously unreliable. I thought it may be my virtual drive being blacklisted by the copy protection software so I uninstalled it and rebooted the machine, still no dice, I get the error still. I have yet to be able to run the game at all. I'm running Vista Ultimate (x86) on a AMD Phenom II 940 Black Edition, ASUS M4A78-E Mobo, BFG GTX 260 1GB vid card, 4 GB Kingston HyperX DDR2 800MHz RAM. DirectX is fully updated for both 9 and 10. Running latest vid card, and mobo drivers. Oh yeah the DVD drive is a Sony DRU-800A IDE. Both hard drives are Seagate SATA drives. I really have no idea after hours of searching for answers on the 'net. I even tried to get a nocd patch but there isn't one available for the non-russian versions of the game. If anyone has any ideas I'd really appreciate, this kind of thing aggravates me to no end. Thanks everyone.

Cheers,
GNP
 
Here be a long shot, but Fred Bob found he couldn't read his DVD due to a DivX codec already installed on his machine. :shrug

Read about it here :eek:k

Hmmm...I'll have to look into it but I probably won't be removing any codecs, I've got too many media files on my machine to be watching. Hopefully there will be a no cd or a patch sometime soon. Thanks for the help though.

Cheers
 
GroundNPound, you might find this handy, I ran across this program a while back. It's called InstalledCodec, it will allow you to turn off each individual codec installed on your system. It will show you a complete list of all installed codecs and give you the option Disable or Enable them. It's really pretty handy! You can download it HERE!
