Installing Problem!
   

I played gothic 1 long ago and liked it, i've been searching for gothic 2 as soon as it came out, at last. I found it, but there was a problem, while i was installing, evrything worked out good, but then, it asked me to "Place Instalation CD #1 into the CD-ROM drive and press the OK button", but CD #1 is in the CD-ROM already, so what do you think, I tried it on another PC, the same thing happened, i went back to the place i bought it from, he said that it works good with him and there is something wrong with my Windows which is 'Windows XP', so???

(Here is a screen shot about it)

O.k X-dANGEr,

The some of the label printing has errors, so dis-regard the normal way - do this,

Play cd (first disc to put in)
Install-1 (second disk to put in)
Install-2 (third disk to put in)
Play cd (last disk to put in to run the game)

hope this helps.

@X-dANGEr,

No, not that one, the last disc you put in is PLAY CD which is CD #1

1st disc to put in <label play cd> = cd # 1
2nd disc to put in <label install cd #1> = cd # 2
3rd disk to put in <label install cd #2> = cd # 3
4th disk to put in <label play cd> =cd # 1

I can't be more plainer than this.

OK this started to get on my nurve

I've got another copy, installed it and it went fine, but not for too long. A virus hit my PC and I had to format it. I was lazy to install it again till today. I start installation and the same thing again with the 'other' copy.. Tried turning off Nortun and so with no use.. Tried all combinations of CDs didn't work.. I think the CD got corrupted, even though all I did is putting it on the shelf..
