Warcraft 2, OS tells me CD not in drive

[chololoco78]

Of course, the game wouldn't start UNLESS it were in the computer... Hi all, I know this post is in essence a billion years old. But can someone help me out.

Tried to run WARCRAFT 2 on classic, on a 1GH Powerbook, running 10.4. Classic loads up, lets me install the game, but of course, in the extensions manager, there is NO CD-ROM extension. So my first question is, has anyone run warcraft 2 in classic using 10.4???

But I am not one to back down from problem-solving...

Fine. Probably need to run OS 9.2.

So I have in my possession an old iBook. G3, 500mhz, 500MB of ram, running OS 9.2.2. Little computer works nicely. (9.2 was really ground-breaking!!!) Loads Warcraft 2 quickly as well. BUT, gives me the same error message. I've been playing around with extensions forever. I upgraded this iBook's hardware and installed a DVD/CD-RW. Could that be causing a conflict? If so, how would that be addressed? The CD-rom works though...

I'm noticing on the desktop, there are two icons when the CD is inserted. One that says WARCRAFT 2 and another that says, AUDIO1. The AUDIO1 CD icon of course, has songs on it...

I really want to get this working for my little man. Anyone have any advice, I would most appreciate it. Thanks!!!

I did it once somehow, It worked great. I ran it through Classic on a Powermac G4 Quicksilver. Unfortunately I forgot how. THERE IS A SOLUTION THOUGH!!!

Good Luck!

I FOUND IT!!! First, (if you haven't already) upgrade the installed version of Warcraft II to 1.4

Then Hold down SHIFT while starting your OS9 mac or your classic environment.

Insert the disk and play!
