hai guys,

when i try to play games that requires a play cd(eg maxpayne,jamesbond),
i get an error "invalid disc inserted" and asks me to retry or cancel even though the disc is correct one.

i was able to install the games (via CD ) without any pbms but when i try to play the game the above error occurs.

one game complained cannot locate cd rom

i don't have any pbm in accessing cd rom but when playing games i get the error.

please help me


thanks

some cds have an "installation cd" - CD1
and a "play cd" - CD2
