Weird Hardware bug

Basically i have been playing ToEE for like 4 days now. But yesterday for some reaons ToEE wouldnt start. All my other games worked (that are installed). NWN, WC3 and Star Trek Elite Force. They all worked. The CDs were read by my drive and there was no jamming or stalling.

However when i tried with ToEE it just wouldnt start up at all. I would get the large CD disc cursor turning and turning and turning but that is all it did.

Any Idea?

Same thing has happened to me on several occassions. This is becuase Atari used a copying process so that people would not make illegal copies of the game disks. So some CDROM's fail to load the game, or even install the game. They used the same process for NWN and didnt learn the trouble it would cost to load up. To remedy this problem I have found that if you open up the CDROM tray and close it. The game will now automatically load up. If not try pressing the TOEE icon once more. All else fails... reboot you computer.
