Q:

Fallout 3 - No Disk Inserted Error

I cannot play Fallout 3. Whenever I click either the Fallout3.exe or falloutlauncher.exe and this message appears:

No disc inserted.     Please insert the original "Fallout 3" CD/DVD.
  Please have a look at http://www.securom.com/message.asp?m=nodisc for
  further, more detailed information.

I've seen many people saying that you don't need the disk to play because you can just click the fallout3.exe but I still get this message.
Can anyone help me?

A:

Only certain versions have been able to get away with playing without the disc. Bethisda released an official Fallout 3 patch (1.7) which is supposed to remove the need for the CD and get rid of that error.
Go to http://fallout.bethsoft.com/eng/downloads/updates.php. (You might need to specify your age first, and then reload the above URL) and download and install the patch, see if it solves the problem.
