save this as ttd.reg and add it to the registry.
You should edit the HDPath to the correct loacation

Now it can't access the cd even though I have it in the drive. Any idea why? Also it does not even attempt to read any of my cdrom drives.

hey, I found out the same, but also I get an error for that cd...but it is patchable! the bad thing is, I dunno how...
so, look at this page:
http://www.ntcompatible.com/t.shtml
 
under 'transport tycoon deluxe' is the following:
 
Received the follow messages:
1) I received the following message : -error reading registry
2) Will not recognize USB keyboard or mouse.
3) I have managed to bypass the reg problem by importing the registry file from Windows 98 to Windows 2000. All that remains is to patch the cd-check problem.

4) Error: Cannot switch to SVGA mode
 
look at the part: 'All that remains is to patch the cd-check problem'. '
 
so it is possible!!!! somebody, plz help us out!

That doesnt really mean its patchable. I dont think we will ever get this game to work in 2000/XP

Well that's the spirit. ;(

Someone with experience in making no cd cracks would propably be able to make one fast...but its kinda hard finding someone like that.
