Sid Meier's Pirates!

Uhm...okay, it installed (seemingly) just fine. When I hit my desktop icon
to play (with the correct disk in the drive) I get an "incorrect disk in
drive" error message. I've been running this game on XP with no problems
whatever, and just (today) got a machine with Vista on it. So, I have no
idea where to look or what to do, or if anything at all can be done. HELP.

Re: Sid Meier's Pirates!

hmmm....I (long story) originally bought this game at release time on a DVD.
My DVD reader quit on me, so I had to buy the CD version. When I installed
it using the new CD key, it would only play with the DVD....not the CD. SO,
with this new computer I have with Vista...the new registration works with
the old DVD...now I have a DVD player....sorry false alarm...this is a
software issue.

SecuROM.....

FilePlanet: Sid Meier's Pirates! - DVD Patch should resolve your issue.

Else you could try a "fixed executable"
