seems like I read somewhere that cd writer helper software such as directCD, 
DragToDisc, etc are detected erroneously as cd emulation software. I don't think 
you need to uninstall them, just shut them down temporarily.

  Thanx for the info pop...I looked in my windows task bar even to see whats
running, but I don't have any of those proggies and I don't see anything
that might be causing this. Is there a forum somewhere for doom3??

I think this group has been the default for doom3 - at least I could not find a 
group with doom3 in the name on my news servers; If you are running winXP, some 
of the helper apps do not show on the taskbar - you can see them in the task 
manager and kill them or, if started as a services, they can be stopped in the 
services section of computer management...

Do you have Nero, could be "nero image drive".  
If you really want to do a thorough check, go to Device Manager (Control 
Panel>System>Hardware), click the View menu and check "show hidden 
devices".  Then look through non-plug and play devices for something 
like an extra funky scsi driver.  A lot of the listings will be clear 
others won't, you could be even more thorough searching the internet to 
find out what the non-obvious devices are.  You might not find the 
emulator but you'll learn something about your system.
This may sound like an odd suggestion but you might want to go buy the 
expansion pack, resurrection of evil, the patch included with that 
removes the CD check, which if there weren't a cd check probably 
wouldn't care if there were cd emulation software present.
Or wait until the 1.3 patch comes out, should be soon.

  Tried that too....thanx Inglo, but still no go :-(
  I don't appear to have any funky files.  I'll keep trying to find a
solution, thanks for the effort guys.
