Help with DVD-RW issues

[Baltazar325]

I I just installed a NEC 3520A DVD/RW. I see that I am supposed to disable the virtual drivers to get this game to install. I disabled what I think is the VD for it but I still cant get the game to install. Can anyone help me with this task. I'd rather not have a 50$ coaster.

It isn't just the virtual drives, you can't have any burning software installed except the ****y program that comes with xp.

Not true I installed fine with Nero on my system. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I hate to say it but I think its hit or miss becasue of drivers...

Is the drive not reading the disc? Are you by any chance using a laptop? What brand is the drive you installed? I had a similar problem and found that I had to disable a program in the startup options before the drive would read the disc. Refer to my post titled Blank CD?????

I have a laptop Samsung SN-324B CD-RW/DVD Drive that will let me install the game but when I click on the shortcut to play, the game starts to open a window and then quits giving me the generic windows error and "sorry for the inconvenience." It's **** that we have to deal with these types of problems...as of yet I still can't get the game to work and I plan on taking it back since this is more of a hassle than it's worth for a 50 dollar unusuable disc.

I like how they package the box too...on the back, the warning that some cd-rw drives may have a problem running the game isn't highlighted on the main box, but when you unwrap the game, the inner warning box is highlighted in yellow...interesting marketing technique...

Very disappointed...

dont click on the desktop icon for the game...try to just insert the disk and wait for it to spin up an d then when and if a window pops up shoose play game see if that works.....it worked for a freind of mine
