| 125958 | 2003-03-06 08:54:00 | I have Microsoft Zoo Tycoon installed on my computer and have bought 2 expansion packs, seems I can only have one installed at a time. When I install the second one, it is asking for the wrong disc to be inserted. Am I doing something wrong? I have windows XP. |

| 125959 | 2003-03-06 10:11:00 | Try downloading and installing the "Windows XP Safedisc Fix" from the MS site. Its probably that bug. | John Grieve (367) | ||
| 125960 | 2003-03-06 10:15:00 | what bug? | starfish (3019) | ||
| 125961 | 2003-03-06 21:34:00 | Its a specific bug in XP to do with a copy protection called Safedisc which is used on the majority of games nowadays by most big distributors. MS put the patch for it up on their site months ago but as they prefer we do not know XP has bugs they have not widely advertised it. I am only assuming its the problem because it has become quite common worldwide to see this sort of error in gaming forums which the bulk of the time is fixed with the patch. | John Grieve (367) | ||
| 125962 | 2003-03-09 07:32:00 | Can someone please explain this to me again, I had a look at www.microsoft.com and cannot find a windows xp safedisc fix. | starfish (3019) | ||
| 125963 | 2003-03-09 08:10:00 | Evening Starfish you can find the patch that has been reffered to here (www.microsoft.com). It may also be wise to have a look at the Microsoft Knowledge Base (support.microsoft.com). PeebZ |
