My copy runs fine, but a buddy is trying to run his and he's getting an error message about virtual drive software on his machine so Doom 3 won't run. He has Roxio burning software installed, including the "drag and drop" stuff, so he thought that might be part of the problem. I use Nero for most of my burning, and have no problem so I suppose that could be it.

Any info. about what he might need to uninstall is appreciate.
 
becuz the pirated versions ur trying to burn suck! bwhahahahaa.

Moron.

I heard this happenind with retail copies being installed on comps with Daemon Tools or other virtual drive software installed. Just uninstall anything like that and you will be ready to go.

I installed mine with a virtual drive enabled with no problems. But I would still disable it and see if that gets rid of it.
 
I installed mine with daemon tools also. It seems like everyone gets the problems but me.. lol.
 
Well the guy this problem happened to is only an occasional gamer. He's in IT, but doesn't game much, and most of his software is either paid for by the office, or came with his PC. Don't think he has Daemon Tools installed, but I haven't seen his PC, so I'm not sure what it could be.

Anyone has this issue and can let us know what software you uninstalled to fix it would be appreciated.
 
i had no problem installing the game with nero and daemon tools on my machine.
 
I've got GamesXcopy & Alcohol 120% on mine and it runs fine.
On a side note, did anyone else have to de-frag right after installing?
 
I did. I had CloneCD running. To fix it I had to disable some setting in it's toolbar. I don't remember what it's called off the top of my head...have to check when I get home.
 
So..... I just have the image files and am trying to install the game using Daemon tools. It keeps telling me that it can't load cdkey.dll. Anyone know of a work around?
 
Wonder if the ones with daemon tools issues are forgetting to rename the default directory and default *.sys names during installation?
 
all I can say is use alcohol 120% its the best virtual drive software out at least thats what I think thats what I used for my pirated doom 3 no problems at all :D
 
I am definitely forgetting to rename the default directory and *.sys names during installation, Riftgarde. Actually, I couldn't forget it if I never knew in the first place... :p Is there documentation you could refer me to on this? :confused:
 
I'm wondering if I have a bad image file... Can anyone tell me the file size of their image file for CD 1? Also, does anyone know about this default directory / .sys file name business? :(
