Game not installing right ?

Question

Not sure if this is where i should put this but here it goes. I just bought a brand new Dimension 3000 and i tried installing a game. It has 2 discs for install one of the discs installs 33% of the data then it asks for me to put in the second disc. when i do this then press OK it seems as if the disc drive doesnt even recognize the cd and it just sits there at 33% complete. no error messages or anything comes up it just sits there not installing. It is not the cd because i have another game which is 4 discs to install and it wont recognize the second disc just like with the first game. If it helps both games are made by electronic arts.   please help

Hi Kobra,The problem we have seen the most has been related to Sonic`s DLA program.Please check to see if you have this, if so disable it and try again.Click on the CD/RW link in my post and scroll to Section 13-0, article 12.Best Regards God, grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do and the eyesight to tell thedifference.

I'm having the same problem installing games on my new 4700c w/ dvd rw.   I tried above change, and get to a third disc where I get a data error: cyclic redundancy check msg.   Does this sound like a horware or software problem.   thanks
