Hi guys,
YES, I have searched and searched on forums here and for JoWood on this issue but no one seems to be able to get a fix. So, here goes:
I put the disk in the disk drive and installed the game without issue. The "start" screen shows up and I clicky the 'start game' words. That screen goes away and the words: "Gothic 3" show up as I hear my disc drive start to whirl. Then these words come to the screen:
"Please insert the Gothic III CD/DVD into your drive and start the game again. Do not remove the disc while playing."
I take the disc out and try again. A few times with disc inserted and a few times without. I even try it in the CD tray and that picks up nothing. (It is a DVD after all.)
I install the current patch. 1.12 I think and nothing different happens.
Now, a few things I have that have been mentioned in other forums:
I have some form of Nero on my computer but in my msconfig it is not running on startup or at all. I haven't used it in a year or so. I looked for a Daemon file and have one in my system32 file but have no idea what it is. (I only mention tehse as they were brought up as DVD drive issues at one point.)
I tried to update every driver I have but am current with them all now.
System Specs:
Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 2800+, MMX, 3DNow, ~1.8GHz
Memory: 1024MB RAM
Hard Drive: 160 G
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700LE (Microsoft Corporation)
Monitor: Plug and Play Monitor
Display Info: 1024 x 768 (32 bit) (75Hz)
Pointing Device: Mouse
Sound Card: Realtek AC97 Audio
I ran the Dxdiagnostic and every page had No ERRORs. (Too huge file to post and have no webpage to upload from if I needed to post that too.)
So, is there hope for me?
TIA

(Lastly; Don't yell at me if there is a post here that answetrs this. I did look and I may have missed it. I'm just so worked up at this point . Been spending the last 24 hours trying to play Gothic & AND NeverWinter Nights 2 but have had problems with each. Different issues entirely.)
