Hey
Im new here and I have a few questions. I have the original AoE without any expansion packs or anything like that. Im here becuase I was hoping to find a patch to make the game run without the disk. My computer is pretty ancient and whenever I put a disk in the drive, it just spits it back out. Sometimes I can get it to stay in for about 5 minutes but once I start playing, it eventually crashes because it says the disk is not in the drive.
I was also hoping to be put in the right direction of some mods to the game? My internet is pretty slow so I can't really surf this site that effeciently.
Any help is appreciated.

It may not be your internet but your computer, especially the hard disk. I had similar problems with my old computer - just not the cd/dvd player but with me it was the hard disk. Consider getting a new one or a less ancient second-hand one. Do you have problems with all CD's that you insert in it?

Dankins: face the fact that your CD player is going; replace it - then you can play the game with the CD without any trouble with the CoC here, but I strongly advice you to replace your computer.

haha, it must have been gone for a while then because its been doing it for quite a while (over 4 years). Oh well. Most games I play usually have patches to play without a cd.

Have you ever cleaned it?
