| | Most DVD games won't install I think AnyDVD caused the problem. AnyDVD is uninstalled now but the problem won't go away. Everything is up-to-date including the BIOS. I've tried reinstalling the DVD ROMS. The problem persists even in safe mode. Quake Wars: ignores disk, no autoplay. right click for 'install' gets no action. disk content not visible even disk icon comes up. Bioshock; Lauching already istalled game results in BSOD. Unintalled game, then tried reinstalling. Autoplay menu comes up but 'install' gets no action. Crysis: Thank heavens it installed okay; plays well. Lost planet; Steam registers the install, installs from dvdrom okay, plays well. Disk not needed as it is now registered with steam. Battlefield2142: BSOD happens right after you select language to install. Timeshift: BSOD right at install. Company of Heroes; BSOD right at install. Call of Duty, Pacific Duty; BSOD at install. The system is otherwise stable. Either AnyDVD or SecuRom or StarForce threw a monkey wrench in the system and I should sue. Vista shouldn't be this frail. |

| | RE: Most DVD games won't install First attempt to contribute heremate. My Bioshock has been languishing since November waiting for a reply from the arrogant swines at 2K to bother to reply to multiple e-mails . securom fails to operate after the game installs normally. As they are owned by Sony, I dont think they can plead poverty with any credence! When are they going to take seriously issues other than how to maximise profit? I am Scottish, but this goes beyond any regional stereotype I'm sure you'd agree! Happy New Year! "McBain" wrote: Quote: > I think AnyDVD caused the problem.
