| 706333 | 2008-09-19 09:27:00 | morning fellas, I bought WAR yesterday, put the disc in and installed upto the point where is asks for WAR2 DVD So i put in disc 2 and the DVD wont read it, jsut makes a funny noise likes its about to read it but then stops. i tried it on my mothers laptop and it worked 1st time, but unfortunately the laptop isn't good enough for WAR. after hitting rer a few times it comes up with E:\setup\WAR\...\...\data2\* does not exist, but it clearly does cos it works on the laptop any suggestions or could the disc jsut be fussy and i need to replace it? anything, no matter how trivial would be helpful =) |

| 706334 | 2008-09-19 10:41:00 | I'd first make a copy of the dvd on your mum's laptop and see if the newly burned one will read ok on yours - if it does, problem solved, if not, next option..... :) | bevy121 (117) | ||
