Angry Starforce nightmare, missing drive??

Hello,

I've been mucking around with this starforce nightmare thingy in an abortive attempt to get this game running, and now my dvd drive has vanished from windows explorer. I can see it in control panel with a little yellow exclamation mark. Drivers loaded but hardware not found it says in the 'general' tab of 'properties'. Has anyone else had this? Had do i get my drive back, i've clicked every activate button in starforce nightmare at least a dozen times and rebooted but to no avail??

TIA,

Cool SFN and missing drives

Its ok i found a solution. Anyone else who finds Starforce Nightmare makes off with their cd drives for longer than anticipated (code 41) should read this.

Got my drive back but still cant get the stupid game to run, (even after re-hiding the cd drive). I guess things dont look good for Silent Hunter 3 in the short term either.

Tip, do not use 'disable cd' in SFN, instead selectively disable drives with the other buttons to prevent the problem I (and others) encountered. It may not help the game run but it'll prevent the need for registry surgery.

Regards,

If you type the key from your Original in that field for a somewhere downloaded Mini-Image it doesnīt work. We have described the Problem more than enough in this thread. Your own key will only work with a good Mini-Image from your own Originaldisc.

I have tried the method described on post #24 exactly several times and I always get an error after the disc checking that says Try in another drive. I got the game to launch one time but have been unsuccessful for a few days since then. Any idea what I can do to reset the whole process and try again?
