    Hello, I just recently purchased an Asus G1S. I installed the game and expansion fine, however when I go to play it says the CD is not detected. Could anyone please help?

    You have Vista? I was experiencing that problem with KOTOR 2 and I have Vista Business.

    Hmmm. That's odd man. Try running normally, not with XP compatibility mode on. Because Warcraft 3 on my Vista Business works fine.

    Is there a CD and DVD version of warcraft 3? And if so is it possible I have the CD version and my laptop only has a dvd drive so it won't work? That's the only thing i can think of.

    A $1900 Asus G1s can play CDs. You're probably running into the disc check verification, and failing. Make sure you clean your disc, maybe use a disc doctor or something.

    then make or download an image of the disk and run it with deamon tools or just any software that runs virtual images!

    Talking about cracks/hacks on NBR = not smart. Forum Rules.

    I disagree. There's nothing illegal being discussed here. He's not looking to pirate the game or anything. He's just trying to find a crack to make the game work. It's a work around, not an illegal activity.

    You can get Nocd patches at www[dot]gamycopyworld[dot]com. And no NOCDs are not illegal or as bad as you know what. I have C&C3 and it gets annoying inserting CDs back and forth and switching with other games.

    I like megagames[dot]com better than gamecopyworld. Just remember that using no cd crack won't let you play online.

    Please list the exact wording in the problem and I'll search for a legitament fix. I do not recommend no cd hacks, as they usually cause only more issues and headahe.

    Actually, there are no-cd cracks available for WCIII TFT that work fine with battlenet (as long as you have a valid CD-key of course), I'm using one right now.
