Re: Need Help

Is the PC reading other DVDs correctly? Is the disk itself scratched or
dirty?

Hardware Make/Model?
Make of DVD drive?
Does the DVD work in other computers? Are the other computers running Vista?

Try Opening the DVD, find the Setup.exe icon, and right-click/run as
administrator. Forcing elevation may help.

You could also try compatibility mode. Right click on Setup.EXE on the dvd,
select properties > Compatibility, check first box to set XP compatibility
mode, click OK, run setup normally.

Good luck,
A.

Re: Need Help

See my other response above Larry. You need to post your system
specifications, and try the game on another computer, it's either the DVD is
bad, or your computer is bad. I don't think you need to do Compatibility
switches with NWN2 to get it to run in Vista.
