Hi,
After recently formatting my computer I have had problems with EVERY game that I have tried to install!
Need for Speed Underground
Football Mannager 2005
Sim City
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
etc. etc.
They install OK, but then when everything is finished. I go to play the game, and i get a message to please insert the correct CD or something similar. With Wolfenstein I got this:

Now, I have no Idea what this is all about, maybe it will give you guys some idea what I should do etc.
Please note, all of these games worked fine before I formatted the computer.

Thanks for the help, its much appreciated
Stefan.
 
Did you install your graphics card driver when your reinstalled windows?
 
do you ply wolfinstien m8 ill play with you on that game my name is xx cobra xx on it i am a noob but not on ps2 online games
 
Yeah; make sure you have installed your drivers for your Graphics card, also right click the desktop and select properties/settings and try changing your colour mode or other display options
 
Ok, Thanks for the help guys. I tried to change the colour to 32 and 800 + 600 but it didnt work. I really think its the graphics drivers as i definately didnt install them when I formatted the computer. One more question though...how do I do it?
 
rite m8 do you no your grachics card driver disk get that and put it in the cd rom, then click on install....... what ever grachics card you got then it will install them then click on my pc then click on control panel then change your plug n play moniter to your Grachics card settings then it should ask to restart restart m8 then take your moniter out of your standerd plug and play then put it in your grachics card that is in your pc at the bak this should work. if you get this working let me play on wolf with you mate tell me your name on the game and then put me on your msn my msn in ANTDEMO45@HOTMAIL.COM
 
Or you can always just go to your graphics card website for example ati's site or nvidia's site and download the latest drivers and install it.
