Call of Duty, UO the miss pack, will not run. I keep getting a error message that says to shut off CD/DVD emulation software, then restart the game. EMULATION SOFTWARE! ARGH! what is emulation software. I'm dyin here. I want to play me new game. I'm 50 yrs old and I still cant play!🙂
But I really have no idea what it is taliking about. I have seen Emulation for playstation etc... but I have none of that. How do I shut off what I dont have? Or know I have?
Thanks for any help, I really do wan to play this game.

Went through this already with Doom3, heres the info straight from the Call of duty web site:

If you have the CD burning software Alcohol 120% installed you need to turn off all of the emulation options.
1) Go to File > Options.
2) Click on Emulation in the menu to the left.
3) Uncheck all options in the window to the right.


If you have CloneCD you need to turn off the Hide CDR media setting. This setting is accessable from the task tray icon for clone CD. Right-click on the icon and uncheck Hide CDR media. If it is not accessable or greyed out you need to do the following:

1. If the CloneCD Tray icon is running, right-click on it in the system tray and select Exit to close it down.
2. Go into Windows Control Panel, then open Regional and Language Options.
3. Change your Language setting from "English (United States)" to some other English country like "English (United Kingdom)" or "English (Canada)". Click, OK to save the language setting change. Note: you must change the Language, NOT the "Location" setting. The "Location" setting has no effect on this issue.
4. Now start the CloneCD Tray icon back up from the CloneCD start menu program group.
5. Right-click on the CloneCD icon in the system tray and you'll notice the "Hide CDR Media" option is no longer grayed out and has a checkmark next to it.
6. Select the "Hide CDR Media" option to remove the checkmark and disable the option.
7. Close the CloneCD Tray icon again (right-click and select Exit).
8. Go back into Regional and Language Options in Control Panel and set the language option back to "English (United States)", then click OK to save the language settings.

I take great offense to them searching to see if such software is installed. I BOUGHT clonecd and BOUGHT alcohol 120%, and I BOUGHT(buy) all the games I install/play. Sucks that they'd make me disable my virtual drives just to play their game. No thanks!

Too much trouble and too nervy on their part. That's why i have A120%, to make cd-swapping a thing of the past and to have my (and my kids) original game disc scratch free in the box.

I agree tis a joke and unless im missing something its UTTERLY pointless cos u can still just crack the game and bypass all need for any drive, virtual or not. why do the games companies even bother? hell u can use virtual drives and an image to install the game.. then crack it... surely if they prevented u from installing from an image that would make more sense.... argh i get mad when i think of it

Well, mainly this is part of what they call "copy protection." The emulation allows the CD to be sort of "masked." Basically it makes it so the drive can't tell if the media you are using is an original CD or a CD-R. Or at least this was my understand of it.

Anyways, it doesn't matter, their copy protection does work. I bought Doom3 and had it copied about ten minutes after I had it installed (Copied to a single DVD, instead of the three CDs). With copy protection they are mainly just trying to "raise the bar," basically keeping it just comlicated enough so that the average joe can't figure out how to copy it. Anyone who truely wants to copy something, will, no matter what kind of protection it has on the disc.

I bought Shell Shock from EIDOS, and it wouldn't install either...error 1350 something to do with not finding the website URL, could this be the same issue...I have cd clone but not alcohol? I have always had problems with eidos games from control issues to graphic errors. Had I noticed it was an eidos game I wouldn't have bought it.

nah man.. using alcohol or clone cd allows u to make an "image" file. essentially making a copy of the disk but in a file formet u can keep on the HDD. Then using virtual drives u can play the "image" file. the computer treats this as if a real cd was in a real drive. Mainly ppl tend to download image files of games (i see purely image files being passed around at lan parties) and install em using alcohol or clone cd so i guess this is games companies attempts to stop ppl downloading games off the net but seeing as u can still install the game using the image file and a virtual drive there is nothing stopping u from downloading a crack/fix from www.megagames.com and cracking the game thus making it pointless to block the likes of clone cd or alcohol in the first place.
