Hi. I have a question along this same line, with a twist. I recognize the
possibility of dirty or damaged discs but here's what my problem is. I have 2
2-disc games that I am trying to install. I recently had an upgraded video
card and more RAM installed in my computer, running XP. All of that appears
to be fine. Because of other issues, the tech did a clean install of XP for
me. Now I'm trying to load these two games and, in both cases, my computer
will not recognize disc#2. Disc#1 seems to be fine. I should mention that one
of these two games is older and has been functioning well on my pc for 2
years. I'm not very computer savvy, but it's hard to imagine that BOTH games
would have the same problem with disc#2. Could it be a setting of some kind
that I'm not aware of?
