Want to launch Microsoft Zoo Tycoon game without CD

Original title: Running Zoo Tycoon without a CD player.

I would like to be able to run Zoo Tycoon without access to a physical CD drive. I use a netbook, I would prefer not to use a reader of Cd external, such that it is annoying. Is there a way I can run Zoo Tycoon without the CD?

Yes indeed it is possible. You can find the software to download the game on a "virtual drives" say for instance you have your C: and D: drives, well with the software, you can creat E: F: and etc, they act like cd players, you insert your game, movie, dvd, whatever you want and it records everything what it as one. ISO file. and you can play without the cd, as I know that I don't know if it's legal, but it is possible.

Look here for more information on what I'm talking about http://www.ztekware.com/

Google "Virtual CD players" and you will find also a lot of other

  • I have a new idea of Zoo Tycoon game! (Microsoft Game Studios)

    I was playing Zoo Tycoon today and I thought of an idea to bring the Zoo Tycoon but better! I tried to go to zootycoon.com and bluefang.com, but they both stopped, I guess because they closed.

    In any case, my idea is to bring the Zoo Tycoon. Here is a list of what I thought:
    1 includes everything in Zoo Tycoon 1 and 2, including all the expansion packs.
    2 mode Guest, where you can walk around as a guest to interact with objects and animals should be included, but you should be able to interact with customers, too. For example, you could go up to a guest, press the SPACEBAR, and have a little chat with them, as to seek their advice on the zoo, their favorite animal, things like that.
    3 Add more animal-like extinct animals, animals (unicorns) Make-Believe, tons of animals!
    4. When you are playing in free play, you should have unlimited money as you do in Zoo Tycoon 2 and have everything unlocked for you, even things that need a cheat code.
    5. There should be a lot more like roller coasters, ferris wheels and rides.
    6. in guest mode, you should be able to interact with objects, as in the slide, you should be able to press the space bar and down actually it.
    7. you should be able to turn into an animal. I know it's a little out there, but think about it! It would add humor to the game! You could run as a lion invited scaring, but even not make them hurt!
    I have many more ideas, but it would take forever to write them all! Comment what you think of this idea to get Blue Fang Games (TM), Microsoft TM and Tycoon (TM) Zoo, game all together again! It's like when I was a little girl and I want to play Zoo Tycoon all the time! It would really bring back memories for many people! Then please comment if you have other ideas or simply to tell me what you think of this idea. I'd like to hear your opinions! Thank you! Bye!

    Hi Karengee,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    There are many versions of zoo tycoon, which are compatible with vista 64-bit. See the link below. But if the requirement of the game is only 32 bits, then you will not be able to play these games on 64-bit.

    You should perhaps install vista 32 bit and check

  • Zoo Tycoon 2 - cannot run

    My daughter has Zoo Tycoon 2 Ultimate Collection. It runs on a 32-bit computer Win 7 with 3 GB of RAM. It worked very well for a long time. After a few months of not playing, she inserted the CD and launched the program. The screen 'Run', 'Install', 'website' appeared. She clicks on 'run '. After a few moments, a dialog box appears that says: "Please insert the Zoo Tycoon Disc 1 and click OK to run the Game" or something similar. Of course, the disk is already in the drive. Re-insert the disc or by clicking OK without reinserting the disc means nothing.

    I can browse the files on the CD. The player seems to work fine - it plays DVD.

    Angry girl blaming the help desk (me). Suggestions welcome!

    Hi Scott,.

    Generally you encounter this message if the installation of the game is not over and that you are trying to read. You can uninstall the game completely using the Windows Cleanup utility, and then try to reinstall the game and check if that helps.

    Download the utility from the link below, install and run it, and then select from the list of items that you want to uninstall the application.

    I have a new desktop computer HP with Vista Home Premium 64 - bit, with 8 GB of RAM, and when I try to run Zoo Tycoon 2, I get the following error message:

    You need at least 256 MB of system memory to run Zoo Tycoon 2. (0Mo detected)

    Y at - it a patch? I have read many "Workaround" and none of them work. I tried to run in Windows XP compatibility mode and it didn't work.

    Hey tprefling,
     
    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers site!
     
    Right-click on the zt.exe file and choose "Run as Administrator" to launch the program.
     
    See if you are able to play the game.

    If this does not work, turn your computer to clean the start State and see if the fgame plays very well.

    To put your computer in a clean boot, follow these steps:
     
    Note: If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps. We recommend strongly that you do not use System Configuration utility to change startup options on the computer, unless a support engineer Microsoft directs you to do so. This can make the computer unusable.
     
    1. sign the computer by using an account with administrator rights.
     
    2. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
     
    3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)
     
    4. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.
    Note: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.
     
    5. click OK and then click on restart.
     
    For more information about the clean boot, see the link below:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
     
    In addition, change the size of virtual memory and see that helps. For more information, see:
