Title: How to run WaW without CD
Post by: Lukkie1998 on July 07, 2018, 12:08:54 pm
Hey guys,

Recently I tried re-installing WaW on my laptop. A few years ago I bought the legit CD version since I still had a CD Drive back then.
Unfortunately, there is no drive in my laptop and thus I cannot put the CD in.
I've managed to put all CD files on a USB, so I was able to run the installer and everything was installed succesfully.
But when I try to run the game, it tells me to insert my disc, which is impossible.
I also tried mounting the files, but so far no success.

Someone who has experience with this? Pls don't say I should just buy it on steam,  that's my final option.

You can try to mount the cd with this tool: https://www.daemon-tools.cc/products/dtLite (https://www.daemon-tools.cc/products/dtLite)
I used a older version a few years ago so I don't know if it works well and I don't have a idea if this can fix your problem but you can atleast try it out.

You can also use a fixed-EXE which can help you run the game without a cd! I used this website a lot for older games that couldn't past the cd test because the games were too old for the pc (Windows 95)

For both links, use them at your own risk. I used these websites/tools years ago.

 Tried this already, is not working :(

It still asks me for my disc, even after moving T4M to my root folder.

1: I think if you make a .iso with your cod cd you will be able to run the game.
2: Yeahhh it's a spooky website but I never got any virusses from the website.
Did a lot of scans with different antivirus programms but couldn't find any.

I am glad I could help :)
