The 'proper' use is to save your CD from wear and tear.
Also it loads quickly if it doesnt have to check the disk. Map Makers use this facility a lot because it makes things simpler.

What I am saying is that do what you will with the NoCD just dont broadcast it out loud.
Im not going to confirm or deny that I have used the NoCD for this purpose. The point is actually writing it down and admitting it could get the guy that runs this site into some trouble, if novalogic wished to get arsey about it.


Technical Problem.
Get hold of the disk and uninstall Black Hawk Down.
Install it again and use the in-game update to make sure you have the latest version.
Try playing the game.
If this works then add the NoCD.
If this then crashes your machine then it could well be the NoCD which is crashing your game.
I dont think it is though.

Here is a checklist.

1)Uninstall and reinstall the game.
2)Make sure you have the LATEST version by using the GameUpdate which is in the main menu of the game.
3)Play it and see if it works.

If it doesnt then come back and try to explain why not.

One last thing. Most programs that are downloaded here are not produced by anyone that makes the website, so to get technical help you have to make sure you tell us all you can.

For instance what is your PC? Do you have DirectX9.1? And so on.
