help???

[djbasic1981]

I'm trying to install 1.29. It installs, but everytime I try to start the game, it says to insert the CD. I do, but it won't find it. I uninstall the patch and re-install civ3, and it works fine. Is there something special I need to do to install the patch?

It is probably caused by the protection scheme checking for blacklisted apps, such Dameon Tools or Alc120. Anything that creates a virtual drive.

I had the same problem, and solve it by downloading a No-CD patch ( for civ3 patch 1.29f )
you'll find it on mega games.
