I'm getting this error message when I'm trying to play Risk II on my computer.

The attachment risk2.jpg is no longer available

I have 2 CD drives in my computer: an LG CD Burner (Drive D) and Gigabyte 52x CD-ROM Drive (Drive E), and Risk II only works on the D drive. What's going on here? Do I need a patch for this as well?

As far as I do remember, old games from the DOS/Win3x/95 era often expected a single CD-ROM drive, that is available as drive D: .
Perhaps your game is confused because it finds the first CD of Risk II in D: (instead of disc no.2).
Anyway, it's just a guess. I haven't played that game before. 🙁

Maybe uninstalling and re-installing the game might help.

Edit: Un-installing and re-installing the game helped out. 11-15-17 @ 20:24
