|| Hi lynseyp,
||
|| There are at least two possible solutions to that compound issue:
||
|| 1. The dissapearing CD/DVD fix:
||
http://www.mrtech.com/news/messages/3053.html
||
|| 2. Before we begin troubleshooting the issue, if you have more than one
|| DISC player (CD/DVD/CDRW/DVDR/ETC) in your system, I've seen
|| this type of problem resolved by simply using the other DISC player.
||
|| Here are some other more involved solutions which have worked:
||
|| 1. Before we begin, please save a restore point for your system.
|| How to use Windows XP System Restore:
||
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/using/howto/gethelp/systemrestore.asp
||
|| 2. You might be affected by problems similar to the Insert CD error.
|| - Try the advice and DL at:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=228985
|| Another trick that I found sometimes works is to make the limited account an
|| administrator account and run that game once. This should create the registry
|| settings and permissions for that user to be able to properly run the game.
||
|| 3. Kazaa or Kazaa light is installed on your system.
|| - Uninstall the game(s) and Kazaa, and reinstall from original CD.
||
|| 4. Multiple CD drives on your system including Virtual CD drives.
|| - Disconnect all but the main CD drive and try the game. You
|| might have an older drive, or a CD Writer which is incompatible
|| with the Safe Disk copy protection on the CD. (Contact Vendor).
||
|| 5. Your antivirus or application firewall might be conflicting with it.
|| - Disable the software temporarily.
||
|| 6. There might be a patch available for your game to correct the issue.
|| - Try
www.avault.com/pcrl/patches_list.asp?letter=a/ or the game's site.
||
|| 7. Your desktop may need to be set at least 800x600 and 16 colors.
|| - Click Start / (Settings) Control Panel / Click Display
||
|| 8. Your Video, Sound, or Monitor drivers may need updating.
|| - Try updating your Video drivers using the instructions at:
||
http://mvps.org/nibblesnbits/Video.html#drivers
||
|| 9. To see if it's a software conflict: Temporarily disable Startup
|| programs one at a time, starting with Firewall, Antivirus, and ad
|| blockers using this utility:
http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml
|| or this method:
http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.php
||
|| 10. If you created other drive letters on your system by installing another drive,
|| creating partitions or virtual drives you may need to change the CD back
|| to the same drive letter it was originally. Usually the CD uses the letter D:
|| - Click Start / Run / type: diskmgmt.msc < to access the tool to change it.
||
|| 11. Maybe a Microsoft Security patch is the culprit. The only way to be sure is
|| to Unplug from your Internet connection, and then repair Windows using
|| this method:
http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm
||
|| After you reboot, try the game again. If it works, save a new restore point.
||
|| Lastly, boot up your system, turn on your XP Internet Firewall, plug back
|| into your Internet connection and install all Critical and Recommended updates
|| from:
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com one at a time. Test the game after
|| each update to find which is causing the game not to start on your PC.
