[snakeboy756]

i lost my CD and i can't find it. it says that i need to enter the CD. Is there a way i can play without the CD.

What version do you have?From WA 1.5 and up you can run the game without the CD if it is installed.If you do not have the right patch download it then you can run the game without the CD.

I think i have version 1.4.0.0 thats what it said and where could i get a patch if i needed it.

i have the original dawn of war too not winter assault does that matter

Check here (http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=104486) for patch links and download locations. Updating to the latest Dawn of War version won't let you play the game without the CD (it's been a long time since I have tried the original, so I hope I am incorrect here, for your sake).

How long have you had the game for?

my friend gave it to me for my b-day like last year i think

Ok, if you could post your warnings.log (http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=57900) file, then we can see what version you currently have. It would be necessary to get Winter Assault however, or even, ideally, Dark Crusade (it fixes many issues and adds new graphics and Widescreen options).

Without the disks, when you need to reinstall, you are stumped, and will need to borrow a friends (should you still have your CDKey) or buy the game again.

thats my warnings log and yea i still have the CD key

Looks like you were 1.40, but after that instance, you updated to 1.41 via the auto updater. In anycase, I would recommend getting the DOW Anthology (3 games in one package) unless you wish to only play Dawn of War, in which case, I believe Company of Heroes comes with a free copy (or at least it did a few months ago).

The patch will allow you to play without the disk...I think it was 1.50 that introduced that feature. Download and install 1.41, 1.50 and then 1.51 - one of them removes the CD requirement.

The warnings.log shows that the game downloaded 1.41, if that is installed then you just need 1.50 and 1.51.
