Your PTW cd is the drive I take it

( Edit the no cd part out of your post, or it will be closed)

In the CD ROM? Installed from there? Fresh install?

The PTW cd is in the CD ROM. I just did a fresh install and ran the game without a problem. I patched it and now I get the insert disc prompt.

Arggg. I wish they could get that right. It isn't a burner or DVD? There should be no problem.

Unfortunately, you may have to contact Infogrames and wait for a no cd fix.

Or, do you know someone with extra equipment? Try a different CD ROM drive.

I've read that is a common problem with the warz version also.

Is your CD-ROM drive old?

I have a belief concerning installing a new game when there is already a patch avialable for it...

First install the PTW game (make sure you already have Civ3 installed).

Then start a single player PTW game. Build your first city, then EXIT the game.

Now install the PTW Patch. Then try lauching the game again.

Let us know if this works.

Contact Customer Support at Infogrames. They are supposed to be able to fix you up.
