Solution: Do not hit your CD drive with anything, including rocks or hammers. If it is in no way damaged, I dunno.

lol
try sending the game to me! ;) i'll fix it lol

Is it a CD drive with a tray, or one where the CD is inserted without a tray?

Whenever I hit something, it becomes fixed.

tray

You mean the CD ejects itself?

Tip: Uninstall nascar racer because it just plain stinks. Your machine is rejecting the crappy program by spitting out the CD. You know, how a baby spits out yucky food.

AHAHAHAHHAHHHAHAHHAHAAHAH

MY CD DRIVE IS WORKING!

I wish my computer would reject crap programs.

500! :D

Congrats! Now you get an AVATAR!

DirectX8 is totally screwed up. After installing it I couldn't play NOLF, Counter-Strike (unless i use opengl), and Blade of Darkness.

I tried BoD on my othe rmachine with DX7 (bod REQURIES dx8) and it worked PERFECTLY.

DX8 is bad and Microsoft needs to shape up.

Hey, what are the minimal requirements to see the kewl light effects, and how do I tell what gfx card I got?

Hehe....
...when I was visiting a relative's house once, they had a computer that had to be hit 2-3 times before it'd detect the drives and boot.

AHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA

Direct X 7 or above.

Goto www.microsoft.com and search for Direct X and get the latest one.

I got DirectX 8
What gfx card I need?

How did you fix the comp with dx8 or did you ever fix it?

Try getting a recent video card from Nvidia.

If you want the best, then get the GeForce 3, but if you don't want to spend about $800 on it, get a GeForce 2 MX for about $150.

My suggestion:

Uninstall Dx8, and install dx7a.

Do u know if that does work though?
cause i got a voodoo banshee and just cause i uninstall DX8 and reinstall DX7a doesnt mean that it will work

VooDoo Banshees are not the best video cards, they probably won't support it.

That's called Percussive Maintenance.
