Can't find CD-Rom drive? [Archive]

Hey... It's been a few years since my last visit, and I really don't remember HOW to fix this game so I can play it now.

I installed it from the disc and then installed the patch, and when I try to open it, it says it can't find the CD-Rom drive and to insert the disc... I have the Triple Pack version of Worms World Party, haven't even tried to install Armageddon yet... what do I need to do to get it to recognize the disc in the drive? :rolleyes:

Thanks

so, your trying to run Worms World Party correct? did you try the service pack? if yes then make sure you use the one for the same region as the game otherwise it will not detect your disc as valid since your game would be looking for a disc from a different region to what you have.

This usually only works with Worms 2, but may as well give it a shot, if you have more than one drive put the disc in the drive with the lowest drive letter (eg D:\ is lower than E:\).

Here are the 3 different patches for WWP:

Just try all 3 of them and re-install in between if it doesn't work.

you don't need to reinstall between, the patches just overwrite eachother don't they?

I have absolutely no idea, so I can only suggest to re-install to be on the safe side.

well the patches should be just self-extracting archives so... yea you don't need to reinstall unless there are more files overwrittin for a specific region.

if the same files are in each package then there is zero issue with simply installing a patch over the top of another.

I think I remember the WWP patch being an installer, rather than a simple self-extracting archive, but I'm not sure.
