game cd not recognized

[Guest]

I have a PC and Laptop both with Windows xp home. The laptop recognizes and
will load the game, but my PC does not see a cd. I took both drives out of
the system and re installed them.
Can someone help understand the situation and offer a solution?
Thank
Larry

Does your desktop machine recognize any CD? If not uninstall the driver and
reinstall, preferably with an updated driver. Also, are you sure it's a CD
and not a DVD, and that your laptop reads DVD's but your desktop does not?

I think you hit the nail on the head, it is a DVD and the laptop had the
capacity to read DVD and PC is only CD ROM. So to be able to play the game
on my PC I will have to purchase a cd drive with DVD capabilities?

Well, you would be purchasing a DVD drive with CD capabilities, but there is
no reason it shouldn't work.
