I bought the DA:O ultimate edition CD version, installs fine, i activate it fine online etc, but when trying to start i get:

Failed to authenticate the disk (yes im using the awekening disk)

Now ive gone through google and bioware forums for hours, and dont really seem able to find a viable solution or even a confirmed rootcause.

I had dragon age standard installed, and just installed on top, when it failed the first time i uninstalled, removed all registry entries as per manual uninstall instructions, and deleted my old "my documents"\\dragon age folder

I updated my CDrom firmware, installed as administrator, installed in new folder (root of my D:drive), installed patch 1.05, tried to run in compability mode, start with launcher, start with launcher from the awekening CD, start daoringins.exe as administrator, tried to start the game with CD in my other PCs shared drive, and oh so much more, but nothing, nothing at all works.

So can anyone tell me, what 1 i need to change to a 0, what registry file i have to create/delete, or what other dance i need to perform to get this game to work, and please dont say just use the EA download manager, if i wanted that, i wouldnt have bought the CD version.

Try it with disc 1. The Awakening disc is #2. The other things you have tried (e.g. "Run as Administrator") may then help.

I was told that either disc should work, but in actuality found that disc 1 was required for me.

Ill be damned, that did it.

Now before to many think retard, i already tried both DVDs on earlier attempts, and several other posts indicate that its the awakening DVD thats the play DVD in ultimate edition.

Also have to mention that i redeemed the code in origin, and it was accepted, so i tried starting it from there with the install DVD, and that worked, so unsure it it was the registry cleaning or the Origin lauching that fixed it, but all i can say is thanks Shinsfortress.

This is not correct.  For users who have the *original* releases of Origins and Awakening, the Awakening disc must be used.  UE *does not* come with an "Awakending" disc... it comes with a second disc that contains all bonus content, including Awakening.  With UE, you must use the first disc.

p.s.  Glad to hear it's working.
