Sounds like a bad disc. Go to the store and get a new copy of the game. |

Another thing that may help is to place the cd in your cd writer instead of you normal cd drive.
Sometimes a 'broken' disc can still be accessed that way.
Just remember i said 'sometimes'

Try to install it on another PC. Then you know where the problem is.

I have absolutely the same problem! I don't think my disc is scratched, or physically damaged. It installed normally on 2 other PCs and it doesn't on mine. And I don't think that there could be 2 cds in other corners of the world that are equally damaged... Maybe there's some kind of solution? I won't be able to get another disc...  I've tried to put the disc into normal drive, writer drive - the same... WHAT SHOULD I DO? Maybe, there's some problem with setup, maybe only one line in .ini file must be changed ant it'd be ok... maybe someone knows what to do?

I assume you updated _ALL_ drivers and read the FAQ.
You could disable DMA mode. Or get a tool to slow your CD-ROM down. Or borrow the other guy´s CD-ROM for the installation.

i have 2 Cd-roms and I don't think that they both are too fast. I don't thinkthat it's because of drivers also. Maybe it's only a bad cd...

You said the CDs installed correctly on 2 other PCs. This is the proof they´re okay, so it has to be something with your PC. Can be everything, unfortunately.

Ok, the problem here is very simple, the solution however is a bit tricky.
I know for a fact that the discs you have are burned. And the error is due to the fact that some CD-R:s simply don't understand the cd images you downloaded.
I removed the rest of the post because posting infos which could be helpful for software pirates isn´t allowed on the RPGDot forums. We do not support piracy.
You will not receive a warning because you obviously only wanted to help and the infos were rather unspecific.
