Hi,
I just bought Myst the complete collection and started by MME(I am a newbie to this series of games).It is the CD version.At the stoneship age,just behind me at the starting point there is a hut with its window broken.Every time when I enter it and try to get out(facing the broken window and click it),my CD driver starts to read the disk but after the indicator LED glittering for some time a error dialog box pops up saying "can't find Myst in your CD-ROM drive.Please insert the Myst CD and press Retry".The disk is still in the driver and it is a new disk.Could someone help me with this problem?Thank you! My system is : WinXP pro sp2 amd mobile sempron 3500+ 1.8G 1G ram geforce go 6150 video card dvd-rw driver |

Suggestions: 1. Clean the MME CD to remove smudges, fingerprints, any sort of haze, etc., that can interfere with your CD drive's disc reads. Don't just look at the disc and say "yeah, clean". Actually clean the shiny side using either water-clear rubbing alcohol (additive-free, no witch hazel or whatever, no green or blue color) or a warm mild detergent solution. Dry with a soft, lint-free cloth using a center-outward motion, NOT circular around the disc. Remove any scratches deep enough to catch a fingernail using one of the repair kits available at CompUSA, Best Buy, Circuit City et al, or from an Internet supplier. 2. Use a laser lens cleaner to clean the lenses in your CD drive. These lenses can build up a haze coating over time which can interfere with drive read operation, particularly if your laptop is used in: -- A dusty area. -- An area where people smoke. -- A house that doesn't have a vent hood over the kitchen stove or cooktop. -- A house where burning-candle or plugin oil-dispersing room deodorizers are used. A laser lens cleaner is essentially a disc with tiny brushes on it that take the haze off of the lenses. The best ones come with a cleaning solution used to wet the brushes, but this isn't a strict requirement. Run the cleaning cycle at least 3 times in succession, as a first pass. I use the 3M Scotch Laser Lens Cleaner, but several brands are available. Some are for both CD and DVD drives, some for CD only or DVD only. There are various suppliers, both online and local computer stores. From Amazon, for example: -- Scotch Laser Lens Cleaner for CD and DVD Players/CD-ROM and DVD-ROM Drives -- Memorex CD/DVD-Player Laser-Lens Cleaner -- Memorex Laser Lens Cleaner For DVD Only -- RCA Discwasher 6-Brush Dry CD/DVD Laser Lens Cleaner -- GE Laser Lens Cleaner Wet/Dry System -- Philips CD/DVD Laser Lens Cleaner Heimdall Semper ubi sub ubi |
