Can't get it started

Any sort of CD copy software running in the background, or possibly something that might be taken as such?

Try downloading the no-cd crack (I assume they've got one out for it by now..) that usually fixes the problem if it has something to do with their *screw the consumer as pirates won't be affected by it* "anti-crack" software.

Sounds like the new Tribes is off to a smashing start (shadows of Tribes 2).

Once I got it installed, I have had no crashes. The game is very stable. All issues from the multiplayer beta were resolved, and it seems to be running very well.

Shot in the dark - but I remember that BF1942 strugged with refresh rate/resolution issues initially. If you had anything beyond a certain level you had to manually input something into a config file to get it working.

Try fiddling with your resolution and refresh rates (throttle them back to something very conservative if they aren't already) and try it again.

Squidly didn't you also have a bad disk on DoomIII? Right out of the box.

It does seem to be an isolated problem that Goob has. I cannot find anything at all on the net about crashes with the full version of the game. It's either hardware specific or a bad CD.

Whatever they put on those CDs for copy protection is really nasty. I hate it when my CDROM grinds on a disc. I initially tried to install T:V from my DVDROM, which is faster. It failed, and I then installed it from my old Sony CDRW drive.

Goob, do you have multiple CDROM drives? Any chance to try it on a different one?

Katana May be on to something, I did have the same sort of problem with Sims 2.. Got the No CD Crack and viola it worked.
