Loading RTW

When I try to play the game I get the message
Cannot locate the CD
CD/DVD emulation software detected.Please disable CD/DVD software and restart the game.
How do I overcome this...all other games work including Medieval TW ?

Shut down every non-essential program running in the background. Then try running it again. If that works, try to isolate which program is causing the problem.

This is a painful message, but thanks to the every growing sw piracy, RTW's copy protection has blacklisted several CD copy and/or emulation software.

- If you have "daemon-tools" running, you'll need to shut it down first.
- You'll also need to uninstall "CloneCD" (CD burning software).

These were my experiences. I had the above two programs installed, and once i did what i described, the game started to run.

Good luck

HAH!
Good luck.
Took me about 2 hours of scouring thru my registry until I found a crytptic key referring to a CloneCD demo I'd installed/uninstalled almost 2 years ago.
