No problem. I'll email you the copy of the patch I found. I've been playing the game now for the past couple of weeks with no problems. The in-game CD player doesn't make any sounds, but if I want to play the audio files on the disc I just run with Windows Media Player. In-game music plays just fine though. One important thing is that if you have multiple CD players in your system you have to install and run the game from the player with the lowest drive letter. If you're not then you have to re-install and start again. Fan of War of the Worlds ? Sort of - I've been reading Wells, Verne, Wyndham, Azimov and Clarke since I was about 11 (a long time ago now).

Hi, Just in case you're still interested I managed to sort out my problem. I managed to find the patch I was looking for and downloaded it. The downloaded file is called WOW.exe and is about twice the size of the one on the War Of The Worlds CD. The trick is that if you rename new WOW.exe WOWStart.exe and move it into your War Of The Worlds program directory the game runs perfectly, including the music. Steve

Hi, I have the same problem. just recently bought the game "War of the Worlds" on ebay. I'm still trying to find a no-cd patch for it though. Where can I get a copy of that ? I did follow a link from the manual and managed to leave a question on the Atari website asking of they had any patches for the game. Steve
