If you bought the game and you're still getting a no cd error, I'd advise you to try a no-cd crack. PM me for the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Fisher Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 I think you go to your motherboard's website and they have info there about drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joetheeskimo Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Ummm..is my motherboard, like Windows 98, or Microsoft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amidala from Chop Shop Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 The motherboard is hardware, not software. It is the main big printed circuit board inside your computer. But if you are a gamer, I assume your computer has a separate video card and isn't using the (God forbid) integrated video built in to some motherboards. If so, go the videocard maker's website for the latest drivers. Most videocards use chips from nvidia or ATI. If your card has chips from one of those manufacturers, go to the appropriate website (i.e. http://www.nvidia.com or http://www.ati.com) and they will have the latest driver. Now please don't say "How do I find out what videocard I have?". Right click the desktop, Properties, Settings, Advanced, Adapter, it will tell you there.
