Try cleaning the CD and re-installing.

118749 2003-02-06 05:07:00 i tried that it is still saying the message help_me (1501)
118750 2003-02-06 09:57:00 I believe that its saying a file on the CD is not able to be read, so there may be a problem with a scratch on the disk?

Info on the web points to this as the prime cause of this error message.

Polish the CD with Brasso (or toothpaste if Brasso is not available)

118751 2003-02-06 10:18:00 Just a wild guess, but is the disk a backup/copy or is it the original CD? Stumped Badly (348)
118752 2003-02-06 19:59:00 i think it is a copy my friend is letting me borrow it.

118753 2003-02-06 21:10:00 The copy you have will omnly work in the original computer. Cause its a pirate disc see. Its only legit if you have the original copy and you are using the disc you have as a back-up in case your original copy gets scratched.

According to the experts like Roofus and Lo.

118754 2003-02-06 21:29:00 Many modern games will have a mechanism to prevent piracy. If the CD is copied, unless it is an exact copy ie error correction disabled etc., the install program will detect that it is not an original disc and not function.

P.S. I would advise you to not publically state you are using pirated software either ;-).
