Embark on a gripping single-player campaign that takes you deep into the War in the North as three new factions: the Dwarves, Elves, and Goblins.
My son just received the Battle for Middle Earth II, and has been having intermittent problems playing the game on our Windows XP Dell PC. The game would not play after the initial installation (using the second of our two CD/DVD drives) - he kept getting the error message 'Please insert the correct CD-ROM, select OK and restart application'. I uninstalled the game, and re-installed it using the top CD drive, with our Zone Alarm Security suite de-activated. The game then played. The next time he played it, however, he again got the same error message. Since then he has been able to play it twice more, but most often, he gets the 'Please insert the correct CD-ROM' message. I have read the 'read this first' info and also been to the EA tech support website and read their advice.
But I've seen no reference to this type of intermittent problem. Is it possible that a damaged disk would work intermittently? Any advice you might have to help us pinpoint the problem, based on the fact that it has been intermittent, would be much appreciated. Update: I tried following the directions below to Install SafeDisc Updates. The result for D: was 'the device is not ready.'
The result for E: was 'Volume in drive E is LOTRBFME2-1 Volume Serial Number is 635F-DB35 Directory of E: File Not Found Does that mean that the disc is damaged? The computer has trouble reading it for installation purposes. Thanks again for any help. 'Before you install the SafeDisc update, follow these steps to see if they are required for your computer. Insert the game play disc. Type cmd in the available text box and press OK.
At the command prompt, type in the CD-ROM drive letter that your play disc is currently in, followed by a colon. Example: D: 6.
Press the Enter key on your keyboard. Note: This should change your current prompt to match the drive letter you typed. Type dir /a:h in the new prompt, and press Enter on your keyboard. This will display all of the hidden files on the disc. If there is a file named SSIFSDAT.SYS listed among them, you do not need this update however it may benefit other games.' Hi, My apologies for the lack of replies.

We'll see what we can do now though. Mohon, does the computer ever have any trouble reading any other discs? If so, it may be a faulty drive(s) or IDE cable. A bad disc would tend to have the problem every time, and since it's now doing that, it's definitely worth checking. Just look at the disc, and see if you can see any scracthes or other marks.
Also, pick up a disc cleaning tool (probably available from your local computer store), and clean the disc just to be sure. It's not a guaranteed fix, but it often does clear up small marks and scratches. NunoGuerra, your details on the left say you're using Windows Vista - is that the case? BFME2 has particular problems with Vista, which nobody has ever been able to work out, so yours may come under that category.
However, follow the steps here anyway, and see how you go. Hi i have a very similar problem with my bfme games. I have the bfme2 and had great joy playing it on and offline on my old computer. Now i have a dell m1730 xps and the game is intalled but when i click on it it says that it occured a proble and was shut down.
If i go in to the properties and change the compatability to windows xp (service pack 2) then click on the game then instantly it says place correct cd in drive and restart. The cd is not scrached and woked on my other computer. I have the exact same problem with the witch king expansion pack. Any help would be much appciated.

Future packs for BFME1 and RotWK are planned. Rider of Rohan and Mathijs. The Peoples of Eriador Another article? What is this, Mod of the Year?
Rivendell was never a place of great military strength. It was a refuge, protected by the power of Vilya, the Ring of Air, where elves came and lived and continued to do so during the long years of their waning. A place of learning, of song, dedicated to the preservation of history and elven culture. Elf-lords of great might and wisdom lived in Rivendell, but they were not numerous enough to form an army and march out to war. As such, Age of the Ring has interpreted Rivendell as an umbrella-term for a very diverse faction made up of several of the peoples that lived in Eriador, specifically its northern regions.
These subfactions are what this article is about. Exhibit B: The Hobbits of the Shire It is a common tendency in Men to underestimate Hobbits - mostly due to their small size, rosey cheeks, and soft-spoken tongue. Few realize, however, that their peaceful exterior is underpinned by an interior most hardy and unwavering. Hobbits possess great reserves of courage, and a natural resistance to the corrupting influence of Sauron and his minions. It is no coincidence that Gandalf felt Bilbo Baggins might be instrumental in reclaiming the Lonely Mountain, and neither can Frodo's resistance to the Ring's evil be chalked up to chance. In Age of the Ring, Hobbits are well represented.
Took Archers, inspired by the Hobbits' natural skill at marksmanship and the Took family's inclination for un-hobbit-like, adventurous activities. Bounders, the Shire's modest policing force that was greatly expanded during the War of the Ring and kept very busy safeguarding their borders. The Shirrifs of the Shire are also represented as banner carriers for the Hobbit units.
Additionally, Farmer Maggot and Fatty Bolger can also be recruited from the Eriador Encampment. Took Archers are deadly archers with relatively low armor, capable of quickly dealing a lot of damage from a limited range. Bounders are a basic infantry unit with additional damage versus heroes and a rock throw toggle. Farmer Maggot is protected by his large dogs and can summon his farm to temporarily boost resource gain. Fatty Bolger can sound the Horn of Buckland, temporarily decreasing recruitment times for all Hobbit units.
Exhibit D: The Elves of Rivendell Though not numerous enough to be considered an army, the Elves of Rivendell did have many great warriors amongst them. These warriors make up the backbone of the Rivendell faction, and are among the most powerful units in Age of the Ring.
They are expensive and difficult to recruit, but come with a full roster of roles: Glaivesmen, Swordsmen, Archers, mounted Knights, and Rivendell's hero unit: Veterans of the Last Alliance - indisputably the most powerful unit in the mod. The Veterans of the Last Alliance come with a full set of powers, based on their experience gained during the various wars they have been a part of: The Siege of Eregion, increasing their resistance to knockback and fear, the War of the Last Alliance, which grants armor bonuses to nearby Mannish units and damage to nearby elf units, and the Fall of Angmar, which increases their own melee damage, adding a siege damage component and increasing their ranged attack speed. That's it for this article. Expect more to come, either during or after the Mod of the Year awards - on both Rivendell and Rohan, the factions that will be in our next release.
