Guest Larry Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 I have a PC and Laptop both with Windows xp home. The laptop recognizes and will load the game, but my PC does not see a cd. I took both drives out of the system and re installed them. Can someone help understand the situation and offer a solution? Thank Larry
Guest Tim Starid Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 RE: game cd not recognized Does your desktop machine recognize any CD? If not uninstall the driver and reinstall, preferably with an updated driver. Also, are you sure it's a CD and not a DVD, and that your laptop reads DVD's but your desktop does not?

Guest Larry Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 RE: game cd not recognized I think you hit the nail on the head, it is a DVD and the laptop had the capacity to read DVD and PC is only CD ROM. So to be able to play the game on my PC I will have to purchase a cd drive with DVD capabilities? Thanks Tim Larry "Tim Starid" wrote: > Does your desktop machine recognize any CD?

Guest dobey Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Re: game cd not recognized Well, you would be purchasing a DVD drive with CD capabilities, but there is no reason it shouldn't work.
