UNSOLVED
weird disc read errors
i have just installed a couple of new games on my dimension 8400 everything has installed ok, but when i go to run the games they wont play.
one disc tells me that it is acopy and cant be authenticated and others just wont run, however if i try installing older games that i had on my old pc they run fine.
I am confused as heck about this as they install perfectly,
the drive is a phillips8601 if that makes any difference
- Some of the newer games have been refusing to run in DVD or CDRW
drives. Has to do with the embedded copy protection. That is why
many folks have two devices where one is a CD or DVD read only
drive. Do you have a CD-ROM in your system? If so, try that.
A second thing to try is, if you have Sonic RecordNow installed, to
disable the DLA portion of that software. DLA often interferes with
some programs. - I do not have Sonic on my system but I think this will work .....
- Click the START button
- Double Click on the My Computer icon
- In the My Computer window, right click on the CD drive and select Properties
- On the CD Drive Properties screen, click on the DLA tab, then remove the
checkmark from Enable DLA on your drives
- Click the OK button and reboot the computer
