It's also possible that there is one drive with several partitions.

What are you using to install the game? Do you have a disk image that is being mounted in a piece of software, or do you have a physical divd/cd which you are putting in a dvd/cd drive?

It sounds as if you are mounting a rip of the install disk which is copyright protected, which results in an error since it cannot validate the disk. Please use a hardcopy of the game to fix this, as either your software is not emulating the copyright protection properly or the disk rip was not a full sector rip and thus it will be impossible to install from as the copyright protection will continue to invalidate the disk.

Are you using an iso mounting program like alcohoal or iso buster, or Nero Iso, it sounds like you are having a problem with failing to unmount some virtual drives, otherwis it wouldn't be up to G, how many drives are in the case. click on my computer and tell me what drives you see that you don't physically have. Unmount the ones you arent using and it should default back to :D, or E, if you have 2 dvd drives

    How many dvd drives do u have, I am thinking 1 or 2 yes?

  • Anonymous Dec 19, 2008

    yes John, if you look at your hardware, the real computer drives, you have a c, d, and maybe an e, if you have two dvd drives, one may be a dvdrw, the one that writes the dvd's, a memory stick shows up as a drive, but it's portable. What happens is you want to play the game disk in your dvd drive which is probablly D or E, the drives that are showing up F and G, aren't real drives, they are either memory card readers, or virtual drives. when a program uses a virtual drive, it does it so that it is really a software shadow drive, so you can sat play a game and you don't need to keep the disk in, it mounts a copy of the disk on a virtual drive. Now this could be completly backwards if you really do have 4 real drives, aside from your hard drive, because that is or should be the C drive. . So that is why it's getting confused. Either you can point it to the :G drive which is where its looking or unmount the other drives by first of all finding out which program is using the virtual drives. It is probablly a program that says .ISO, Look thru windows explorer and see what is on you computer

The most common reason for this is your CD. Make sure your CD is free from fingerprints, smudges and scratches.
Let me know if that doesn't work and we'll try to figure out what the issue is.

I installed comand and conquer tiberium was and try to launch the game and get an error message that states string manager failed to initialize properly i seek you advice

I might have a solution, try going to display settings and changing your resolution to 1280 by 768 pixels, if that doesn't work try changing the color to 16 bit. That has helped me before. If that doesn't work I'm not sure what may be wrong. You might need to check the minimum requirements located on the back of the box of your game, and see that you meet all requirements.

I cannot get Command & Conquer Tiberium Wars to install.

This is a general error which arises with corrupted files.First Make a "Checkdisk" test and make sure that your D drive is fine with out any bad sectors.If everything is fine,then probably that particular file is corrupted.Assuming you have reinstalled the game,the file may be corrupted in the dvd itself.Check if the game is working on othe systems.Also first copy the game contents to your hard drive and try installing the game from there. Install the game in a different directory [drive].
