Installation still!!
 

Worked out all my direct x probs and have good drivers now. As for the game start. With cd 1 in drive there is not even a play button to click. With disc 2 in there is a play button but of course nothing happens when i click it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 10 times now and am at a dead end will dl the patch and see what happens. ANymore ideas would be great. Thanks

Patch didnt work
 

Any ideas? Ill read them while bangin my head against the wall:)

Do a search in your registry for Sub Command and delete all entries. Then attempt to reinstall.

Try disabling your virus protection while you install the game.

Finally got it.
 

I didnt have any virus protection running but I did the disc defrag and all that and the patch finally did the trick. Until I did the defrag the patch would quit at the exe. file Im good. Thanks all

I'm sure the patch means you can play SC without disc in CD/DVD rom drive.
