rFactor doesn't start/recognize the CD/DVD anymore

[PeterVox]

rFactor doesn't start anymore! It says, I'd have to insert the correct cd/dvd and press [ok]. That's what I do but the game doesn't recognize the cd/dvd!

I own the cd/dvd version, disc is inserted, game is patched to 1225F, it worked for a long time (last time yesterday) without any problem (running Windows Seven 64bit, game has admin-privileges) and now it stopped working! Nothing changed, system is still the same.

I tried to find the reason, but I had no success. Disabled anti-virus software, firewall, Windows Defender, ... I reinstalled my cd/dvd-drive, changed the drive letter, ... game re-install, ... but nothing helped. :frown:

I hope you know what to do to get the game running again?!

Sorry Im unsure about weather its pre-patched to 1255 ("F") but you get rF Lite here -> http://www.rfactorcentral.com/rFactor_Lite.cfm

The sounds are a seperate download, but you'll only need them if one of the mods you install uses them.


EDIT: re-read the page on rF light and it is v1255 ("F Patch")

I also use an rfactor dvd but have not had any problems with it so far (but i know others that have) i am running windows 7 64bit and have just tested DAEMON Tools Lite 4.35.6 and can confirm that it does work for rfactor, so maybe worth making a disk image with daemon then mount it and see if it works for you also.
