Hi everyone, I'm new here. I was wondering if anyone could please help me fix my computer?
Well, here's the problem: Right now, I have a game disc (Diablo II) in the E: drive. The slot opens and closes, but whenever I click on the shortcut to the game, this pops up:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CD-ROM Drive Error | X |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Diablo II was unable to locate your CD-ROM drive.
Please make sure your Diablo II Expansion Disc is in your CD-ROM drive, and then click 'Retry'.
|Retry| |Cancel|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, the CD is in there. Yes, I tried scandisc and defragmenting.
I have no virus protection. (Norton was somehow deleted)
The things I have installed to help get rid of bad things:
- A²
- Ad-Aware
- Spybot
- Absolute Startup
The thing is, Diablo 2 worked yesterday. It crashed many times but eventually, it would work again.
A while ago, I installed a game called Gunbound. It was working fine until a patch installed NPROTECT(gameguard) into my computer. Ever since, problems began to pop up. I uninstalled and deleted the registry things that belonged to Gunbound and thought I was rid of the evil for good.
My computer seems pretty messed up right now. When I restart it, it takes a long time to load. A few days ago, it was crashing a LOT but that seems to only happen now when I play games. (Absolute startup deleted some stuff but I was too excited to see what the files were.)
Could some malware have corrupted my CD drive / game disc?
Is it just that I have restarted the computer so many times that it overheated or something like that?
If you have any idea what's happening and/or how to fix it, please reply.
Thank you very much!
