3: install the patch
4: get a no cd patch (stops it asking for correct disk)

5: on your pc go to th game directory
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Gears of War\Binaries
6: select the file startup.exe and delete it
7: copy your new downloaded exe to the directory to replace it
8: right click startup.exe and use compatability selecting windows 95
(lol YES windows 95)
9: right click the file WarGame-G4WLive.exe use compatability and this time select the windows xp option
10: run the game from startup.exe or your games folder in start and enjoy, works 100% for me was amazed i even got it to work
oh if your game sticks on exit just press escape
this also works with virtual drives installed
the patch works for gears on any windows but it will still ask for the correct disk
happy gaming!!
