Now now, Moon, ol' buddy, remember your blood pressure...  :-)

Sounds like Gary is not too 'net literate, be gentle.

Worked when I took off the "www"
How ever there was no help there. I am having the same problem as SG asked
for help on.

Moon, in your case, when I loaded D3 and launched 'play' it gives me an
error "Invalid CDROM" and closes the program.
And, GOSH!!!, if you can take the time NOT to be such a arrogant smartass,
and you know, please tell me what to do to fix it.
If you don't please save the bandwidth for someone who dose.
Thanks.

Are you using a pirated copy?  If so, you may need the nocd crack to
bypass the cd check or do a full install and use thge nocd.

Thanks for answering, no it is not a pirated copy.
After reading all of the FAQs I could find, I think I have something set
incorrectly in XP. Just can't figure what!???

Not sure if you did this exactly, might want to give it a try.


1) Install D3 fresh
2) Start D3 once and create a pilot.
3) D/L and install 1.4 patch
4) Start D3 once
5) Apply NOCD crack.

TRy game.

Turn off the sound by doing this.

In the launch menu.
Click SETUP
Then click the MISC tab
In the COMMAND LINE area, enter the following

-nointro -nomusic -usesmoothing -nopentium3 -nomotionblur -framecap 0
-nooutragelogo -nosound

All on 1 line.  See if this helps, if it does, then we know it's a
sound problem.  If not, then it might be a video problem

GOT IT!!!
Went to HotBot.com did an advanced  search for NOCD with Descent 3.
Downloaded d3_us_14.zip.
No command line switches needed.
Was having a weird game crashing thing for a little bit, reloaded
IntelliPoint and disabled the mouse in the game, all seems to be fine.
Thanks again Fusion.
