Found the problem in the thread "CMBB is doing my head in!!!", it was mcafee virusscan. If i disable it before inserting the cd everything runs perfect.

Yes i agree that piracy is a problem and companies only try to protect their investments. I will use my original cmbb2 cd, its really not that much trouble.

I have the same problem as you, i use xp pro and when i insert the cmbb2 cd the drive spins wildly for 3-5 minutes and then the autorun starts. I think xp scans the archived contents of the big setup.exe file (564 MB). Im checking if this xp feature can be turned off. [ September 02, 2003, 11:59 AM: Message edited by: stefanpi ]

I did buy the retail CMBB2, here is some text from the manual: -------------------------------------------- Fire Units on the battlefield constantly ... ... ... ... Combat Mission 2 51 --------------------------------------------- I know CloneCD is a softwarepirate's tool no #1 but i think its very convenient especially these days when harddrives up to 250GB are available. I got all games i frequently use as clonecd images on the drive (sub command, morrowind, bf1942, diablo, riven, redalert ...) and i have bought the original games. Well i just have to use my original CMBB2 cd. Also i always use my hotmail address on all public forums because of spam. Only people and companies i know are ok can have my real email address. Thanks anyway StefanPI [ September 02, 2003, 11:50 AM: Message edited by: stefanpi ]

Hi I like to use CloneCD's Virtual CloneDrive to eliminate cd noise and lags when playing games. But i noticed that when patch 1.03 is installed CMBB wants me to insert the CMBB2 cd-rom. Is there a solution to this? Btw thanks for a good troubleshooting guide i finally got cmbb to work with 1024x768 resolution. Thanks StefanPI
