I know i'm not the only one! Windows 10 laptops, especially 13" do not have a cd drive. I bought a dvd drive just to install this game (yes I have a cd of this game and a strategy guide that I never read either since I also have the original call to power). Anyways, I installed it and downloaded a no cd crack and cannot install one of the patches because it was designed for windows 7.
Does anyone know a way to play this game on windows 10 without a cd? Unfortunately my laptop from 2018 only has two usb ports. One for mouse and the other for kb, that means I can't use the dvd drive. LOL.
I may try using a usb 3.0 splitter that has 3 available ports.
Edit: I installed the only official patch out i guess, 1.11 and got the no cd exe to work, but now its launching zoomed in with no mouse cursor.
Edit: have to play at a much lower resolution, mouse set to 125mhz (if you have a gaming mouse), open as administrator. Game now works
