Black and White 2 - Emulation cd/dvd error

Ceronix · #1 09-03-2006, 10:19

I have just bought the black and white 2 game today, and looked really forward to playing it as i enjoyed the first one sooooo much!! and to my disbelief when i installed it , it came up the following error

" cd/dvd emulation software has been detected please disable all cd/dvd emulation software and try again " SHOCK HORROR

Now i come to my point, i do not own any emulation software such as alcohol/clone or any other "emulation" stuff. Is there anyway to get by this or am i stuck with a useless cd in which will rot away in a cupboard for all eternity

Would be happy if somebody/anybody has a solution.

Thanks

There are other softwares that may trigger this annoying error message. Read the FAQ.

i dont know if this question falls as inappropriate so please tell me if its not allowed. I saw posts of mini/maxi images of black and white 2 which seem to correct this problem , do you know how id go about this?

See "Exit all software that may be blacklisted by copy protections" in FAQ entry V/2. (You might wanna read the whole thing through anyway as you may find in it other useful information that may come handy in the future...!)

Joe Forster/STA · #10 09-03-2006, 11:04

Well, then contact the publisher and ask for help. (And, when you/they find out which software caused this, report it back so that it can be added to the FAQ. Thanks!)

Can you please add " ULTRA ISO " to your list along with " Alochol Trial Version - Anything lower then the newest one on site "

Thought it crashed again then it let me in

thank you for your help man , you been gr8

i thank you

Even UltraISO? Oh god, talk about paranoia, that's not even a CD/DVD emulator software!

Can anyone else, please, confirm that Black & White 2 is picky on this software, too?

I changed the name of the Virtual DVD driver within Alcohol 120%, but the game still refuses to run ( " cd/dvd emulation software has been detected please disable all cd/dvd emulation software and try again " )... Cant think of anything else... (using latest version of alcohol)
