Battlefield 1942! wont work with/without cd

[thesaintrugby]

Bought Battlefield 1942, cannot be bothered swopping cds.....

so downloaded crack, (1.2) could not get it to work...so I uninstalled then reinstalled with original discs.

Now all I get is that sound you get when no disc is in the drive!
(the original is in the drive)

Does this mean I have something in the registry left behind when I uninstalled? I am a geniune owner of the full game and I cannot get it to run at all...

Help! please! someone......
