I just bought the game Call of Duty 2 for my PC but something is wrong. The multiplayer works fine, but when i try playing single player, when i click the icon an error message appears and says "Please insert the correct DVD-ROM, select OK and restart application. The game is not pirated since I bought it from Best Buy. Please somebody help me, I dont know whats going on, other games work perfectly on my pc, and my pc meets the minimal requirements of the game!

You may not handle the requirement of the video setting then, try this and he could see if your system can handle it,

go to http://www.xfire.com, if you dont have an account sign up, then go to upload rig and let see what you have then... seems like you cant handle the game in my opinion

Also try it in safe mode...

you should be able to see when it starts on your windows

if not use ccleaner to spot it out if you cant see your virtual drive, like daemon or something

DMA CD-ROM Drive Icon Does Not Appear in Windows Explorer:

SYMPTOMS
When you try to view a CD-ROM drive in Windows Explorer that requires Direct Memory Access (DMA), the drive may not be present, but the drive may be present in Device Manager. If the DMA settings are disabled in the CD-ROM properties, the drive may be present after you restart your computer, although a CD-ROM drive that supports DMA may not retain the DMA setting after you restart your computer.

Back to the top
CAUSE
This problem can occur because during enumeration of your hardware devices, a device conflict can occur, and this may cause Configuration Manager to rebalance the resources of your computer. During this arbitration process, the Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) controller input/output (I/O) range is changed from the boot configuration to a different configuration, but the primary and secondary controller resources are not changed properly.

Back to the top
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, perform a forced configuration of the hard disk controller:
1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click System.
2. Click the Device Manager tab, and then double-click the Hard Disk Controllers branch to expand it.
3. Double-click the listed IDE controller.
4. Click the Resources tab, and then click to clear the Use Automatic Settings check box.
5. Change the I/O range from the current setting to a different I/O range, and then click OK. For example, if the setting is currently 1410-141f, change it to 1060-106f.
6. Close all open Windows, and then restart your computer.
