DVD ROM GAME PROBLEM

[jonly]

I bought the DVD ROM game Brothers In Arms road to hill 30.Installed the game
fine,but when I tried to play the game it wouldn't start,just got a little
white square box on my desktop screen saver,then the mouse quit working.No
key I hit on the keyboard did anything,had to reboot to get system working
again.I replaced the original nvidia Ge Force3 Ti 200 video card with a
Radeon 9800SE card,and tried to load the game again.This time I got a message
window telling me the" disk is not formatted and that windows cannot read
from this disk,the disk might be corupted or it could be using a format that
is not compatable with Windows".I tried the disk in my brothers PC and it
loaded and played fine,then I tried his copy in my dvd drive and it did the
same thing that mine did.Anyone have an idea what could be wrong! jonly

Sounds like your DVD drive has died. Swap it out for a different DVD
drive. If that works, then discard the original drive.

I don,t think that's the problem,because every other game disk I put in the
DVD drive works fine.jonly

Then contact the game mftr.'s tech support since the problem is specific
to that particular game.

Did you install directx 9c included with the game? if not do so, you also
might try updateing your vid drivers.
