Starting Game Problem - Help!!!

Post by LadyGodiva35 »

I can't start the game on windows xp! It seems to install correctly but.....I put in the "Play" disc and it says its the wrong one and to insert the other disc. So I insert the "Install" disk and it tells me its the wrong disk and to insert the other one! Its driving me crazy.

I installed the game on my sister's windows vista computer and I'm able to play the game on there but it makes me use the install disk to play.

My sister really doesn't want me hogging her computer so I really need it on XP!

Please help!!!!

I think there's a no-cd crack out there. (Do a Google on it.) Since you own the game, no harm in using it to get playing.
You could try ignoring the question for the CD and start the game from a shortcut instead of the autoplay-screen. You probably already tried this.
Install the patch. That might solve problems.
Have you checked Win95/98 compatibility?
