i let it ride through and right after i posted my message it started flying. took about 25 mins just to get past the protection then for the remaining cds took about 5 mins. i got it working so cool and thanks for the reply

May I second the question about the no-CD?

meaning: is there a no-CD out yet for 1.2? I've searched the relevant sites but nothing came up...

My problem is that I have a defective CD - installs fine but doesn't recognize it afterwards, when I try to run the game - and the local house here in Greece that imports RTW say they will have to order a replacement CD from the makers... that would take (since we are talking about Greek time - it's kinda warped) about 4-6 weeks, and I really am not fond on waiting that long to play my fav. game.

There is some mini-image file that can be found at one RomeTW thread at megagames forums (or as 2.17MB RAR at eMule). Mount it with Alchohol and you won't need no-cd anymore (works with all patches).

Is there any hope of this nocd? The mini image is great and all, but there are cheats that require the cracked .exe because its decrypted.....

Its been more than two weeks since the patch

Something extremely funny is going on with my computer... I installaed Alcohol 120% (to make an effort with that bleeding mini image or - if the damaged CD didn't cooperate - to d/load a ready image and mount that) and every time I try to start it (Alcohol), my #@!@$%#@#%$# computer is rebooting!!!!

Tried to close every running program save those absolutely necessary for the system - no good. It still reboots. Have you ever seen that?

[johnsmith]

do you have other virtual cdrom software running? If so make sure its disabled, I had a similar problem and this was the fix.
