"please put your pop3 cd into another cd-drive" ???
 

after i installed the game and started the .exe, there came an error: "please put your pop3 cd into another cd-drive" -.- so what does that mean? pls help me...

i got two mini images, too, a .mdf and a .mds, but no matter which one i choose, there's the same error after starting the game...

oh, and ps: i got the dvd-version...

Read the FAQ; the copy protection found out that the CD is in a virtual CD emulator, not a physical CD drive.

i read the FAQ; but what should i do now?? i'm sorry if i am too silly but i don't check it :o

You need to better hide the virtual CD emulator, using one of the many utilities for this purpose. But it's all described in the FAQ (and the software documentations).

yes, but, u know, im neither english nor american, and i don't speak english perfekt, and i'm also no computer-specialiser, so i dont know what is meant by these things e.g. in sfn called master and slave and ATA etc.. and the other programs and tips u posted are also difficult to me...well, i found another tipp in the internet (and it seemed to be what i searched b/c i use DT):
but this doesnt work, too (and, uhm, i dont know wich .mds or .mdf, and the mini or the big of these)...

so please, couldn't you help me here and explain it for noobs? i know you are not pleased to hear that but i'm begging you :o

I Have exactly the same problems. Please help!

SFN is pretty self explanatory

it's also known to NOT work on MOST pc's with this game

only way is to disconnect your physical drives

on the 3cd US release of pop3, some group released it with some utility to patch the alcohol image to the cdr media youre using to burn with. so you can make burn the 3rd image for the cd check. hunt the internet :P

Well, here is the funny thing, i finnally figured out how to get it to work, THE TYPICAL PROBLEM everyone else had. Ill post a whole step-by step once i get passed one more part. I run the game every time fine... it works the video loads up and well, i reach the part where he is floating on a piece of wood from the ship and then it goes on a bit like 30 seconds ( not too sure, maybe less maybe more). but then when he put his hand on the edge of the wall and STANDS UP STRAIGHT... My PC crashes. i tried like 10 times already same thing. ne idea????

Does anyone tried Win2k3 node disabler ???
One question:
What node exactly does??

The game worked...First unplugg your Dvd drives... You must mount a full image of the game and run the install of the game from the image..Then clear any starforce drivers..And finally take Dinar's image and copy it for your's..that's it 100% working method...If someone needs help can pm...

Hi, im spanish and I don't have a well english... so, i get lost when you say the dinarar's image, i have downloaded it and mounted whith my original image, like he says.

First, i have put the POP image on my hard disk, next i have unplugged my DVD's units. next i have installed POP with DT4 and the image. Then I uninstall the starforce drivers, and there is when i get lost, im not sure what it means, if i can now put my dvd's drives without the starforce driver and burn the image with the mds file that he puts in the forum or mount the mds file with my image (the same name) with DT4 and i can play?? i have done all of this but it doesn´t works!! it says to me again to install the starforce driver... can someone tell me step by step HOW TO do it?? thanks

If it's in spanish better!!!:)

I have a strange problem: please help.......

Short time back I have start "Starfucker 0.83 beta " and mount the image with daemon tools and all was ok- I could play the new Prince.

Today I will play Prince 3 and now it is not working --I see the protection message: "please insert......"

How can it be it has working!?

What I have changed on my PC?
-Only build in a new plextor DVD recorder (750A)
-and changed from nero 6.xx.xx to 7.xx.xx

How can I play again? Please any advice....

I have tried each method and i haven't gotten anywhere....starting from uninstalling the drives in the manager and using different tools such as starforce nightmare and sfcure. There is still no result it still asks me to insert the cd. Any other way of making this work without a cd???? O and i think we have established that the keelman mini image is corrupted.

ok listen, i had the same problem as you until i realized the programs like starforce nightmare and sf4hide r useless... Just disconnect your drives PHYSICALLY and it will work everytime with DT4... btw u need to uninstall the protection from device manager... go to view on device manager and show the hidden then go to

Non-plug and Play Drivers

you will see 4 starforce protection thing's... Uninstall all 4 and when it asks you to restart for the first second and third just say no and on the forth restart..

TRY That before u physically disconnect drives and it might work if not then phyically disconnect...


AND I still need to know why my game crashes at the same point in the intro movie... help someone?

The problem is your Dvd Writer...You cannot play the game unless you unnplug it,,..Cd drives doesn't count
