did you try downloading a clean EE from torrents or sharing sites? maybe your copy of EE has been corrupted.

I have this version of EE, but it does not need a CD! I could send it to you!

Maybe because it's a clean copy, it's not working. Did you download it or get it from a disk?

Ok then, there are two options I could think of.
a) Your registry is screwed up. Run a registry cleaner and repair anything that could be broken.
b) Your computer suddenly became too good for EE. If you installed an update that made the programs that run EE too advanced, EE might not be able to run anymore.
Another option is to just google it. Thats what helped me fix my many PC problems ;D

I'm on windows XP. Just tried a reg cleaner, doesn't seemed to have helped.... I'm going to see if I can find an iso version of EE to install it because I currently use a rar'd up version of the files after they have been installed.

EE apparently doesnt work on netbooks/mini laptops :/ Some compatibility issue... was looking on a torrent site and people were saying it doesnt work for them..... then someone else pointed out that they tried on 3 diff netbooks, it didnt work, tried on a regular laptop, worked...

I recall EE doesn't work well with anything more advanced than Windows XP.... actually it does. my personal laptop is i5, with radeon graphics. maybe it's because xeno has a netbook, that's why it can't be played. i'll do an experiment at home and try my EE copy to run with the wife's netbook. |

I think your right. I run it on a windows vista laptop and it works fine. |

Works okay on a Vista laptop but the graphics are not the best even on the highest setting.

I think windows 7 graphics for EE is the best. Anyways is this a new netbook, or did you run EE on it before?

Never ran EE on it before, it never worked.. I think it has to do with something that netbooks don't have a CD Drive.
This is because I had this error on my desktop once and I remember I had just installed XP and the CD drive I was using wasn't installed so my PC didnt register there was one... I reinstalled XP to see if it would solve the error and it had but IIRC it actually registered the CD drive this time....
So... I dunno maybe if there is a way I can make EE believe my pc has a CD drive whether it is a virtual one or something, it may work again.

Then get a new computer, like me (which I bought for entirely different reason actually)
only now, don't buy a netbook.

it also works in netbooks. the wife has dell running intel atom, windows 7. i think you should really get a no-cd version of EE, xeno. how old is your computer by the way?
