Help!

Post by Da_Higg »

I'm having problems with my computer. My disc drive refuses to work and claims that 'There is no disc inserted'. What this means is that all my games (bar battleships) cannot be played at all. Please can someone help me.

Age of Empires 3 The Warchiefs expansion pack
Played: yesterday

Actualy the trouble started when auto play for discs stopped working if the game hadn't been played for about a week. 12 day trip to Mexico applied this to all my games. In order to get them to start I had to click the icon, open the my computer page, right click the disc drive and wait. then the game started.

5 years? Pfft that's nothing.

I don't know what could possibly be wrong though, I'd need to see the computer for myself.

In the meanwhile you should use No-CD patches. It's legal since you own the games.
