After installing Spearhead, can not play game: Insert CD?
 
After I install Spearhead and want to play the game I get:

" Please insert the correct CD rom, select OK and restart the application"

What can I do besides completely remove MOHSH and MOH AA?

You must have the MOH:AA or Spearhead CD in your computer to play.

TheOnly-a.k.a.-Jon 12-24-2003 10:13 AM

The SH-CD is in the cd drive!

I can play MOHaa with the AA-cd without any problem.

Johnj 12-24-2003 11:12 AM

Did you use the default directory?

TheOnly-a.k.a.-Jon 12-24-2003 11:39 AM

Yes.

TheOnly-a.k.a.-Jon 12-24-2003 12:13 PM

No solution yet, but this.

I tried teh game on another computer with 2 cd drives (One reader and another one can read/write)

The game starts immediately when I put it in the cd reader.
The game starts after a few attempts in the cd r/w.

The earlier mentioned problem exists on a brand new PC with a dvd r/w-cd r/w.

What I can doto "solve" this is to put the cd reader oft the other PC in the "new" pc.

Try this, remove all cd's from your computer, then reboot the computer. Open Windows Explorer, click the plus sign next to My Computer, click the plus sign next to Local Disk (C:), click the plus sign next to Program Files, click the plus sign next to EA Games, click the plus sign next to MOHAA.

Do you have a main and a mainta folder?

Now place the MOH Spearhead CD into the computer.
Does the light come on on the front of the CDRom?
Can you hear the cd start spinning?
Does the Install menu open up?

If yes click on EXIT.

Now double click on the Spearhead icon or the icon with chevrons.

Let us know OK.

The cd indeed started spinning (+ light went on).
But doubleclicking the icon results in same error:
" Insert correct CD rom,...."

Pitty.

I m a law abiding citizen. The search goes on.

When test the cd drive speed with a little tool called go_ez.exe (in mohaa/ereg), the result of the test is "0x".
This is the device I use.....http://www.nec.co.uk/ND1300A.asp

(On my old computer everything works fine and the test speed result is "34x")

Sounds to me like your Reader is incapable of reading the disc.

TheOnly-a.k.a.-Jon 12-25-2003 07:32 AM

But eeh,

The reader installs the game (spearhead), it also installs AND plays MOH-AA.

The only problem exists with playing the spearhead cd....

Tystnad 12-25-2003 07:37 AM

Have you tried to start Spearhead with both the SH and the AA playdiscs?
