DVD not read correctly: Medieval 2 will not start anymore (original disc)

Hi everyone, sorry if i am posting this in the wrong part of the website but i really need help with something. I bought a new pc game ( Medieval 2 Total War ) and when i 1st installed it, it worked fine. The day after i went to play it again and when i clicked on the icon the DVD Drive started and the disc was being read. The problem was though an Error message came up saying that i needed to insert the right disc when it clearly stated on the manual disc 1 was to kept in the drive. Can anyone tell me why it was working 1 minute then the next saying that my disc does not exist please? I tried to reinstall it and everything but the same message appears over and over. Any suggestions please?
Thanks in Advanced
David

Hello David
It will be interesting to know which notebook model you have.
By the way: try to disable packet writing software DLA. Maybe it helps.
The procedure of changing a setup of DLA is as follows:
1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Right-click the icon of the CD/DVD drive and choose Properties
3. Click the DLA tab
4. To disable DLA option clear the Enable DLA on your drives checkbox
Please let me know if this works.

  • Canon pixma mx850 printer not reading my computer - will not print

    canon pixma mx850 printer not reading my computer - will not print 
    I unplugged the cord that went from the printer to the computer to another canon printer to see if I could remediate a problem with a wireless printer.
    When I plugged the computer cord back into the usual computer, the printer is no longer talking to the computer even though I have gone in and changed back the settings, and it has been the default printer - that was not changed.
    I've tried all the trouble-shooting suggestions to no avail.

    Hi scheideckerj,
    Reinstalling the latest drivers for the printer from the Canon USA website may resolve the issue you are experiencing.   Please click here to go to the Drivers and Software page for the PIXMA MX850.  Once on the download page, please do the following:
    1. Verify that the operating system detected in the "OPERATING SYSTEM" drop-down menu is correct, and if it is not, please click the drop-down menu to select your operating system.
    2. Next, please click on the red arrow next to the "DRIVERS" section and click on the MP DRIVERS file. When you do, a red DOWNLOAD button will appear. Please click on the checkbox below the DOWNLOAD button, then click the red DOWNLOAD button to begin the download. The time for the download process may vary depending on the speed of your Internet connection and the size of the file being downloaded.
    Once the file is downloaded, please double-click on it to reinstall the printer drivers on your computer. 
    Hope this helps!

    When you start recovery image installation a few steps will be performed:
    1/ the whole HDD will be deleted and formatted
    2/ new partitions will be created
    3/ recovery image will be copied to recovery partition on the HDD
    4/ recovery image will be installed
    5/ Windows start and configuration
    There must be some problem with the HDD.
    Yes,HDD is full of bad sectors.
    Found a spare HDD and installation is going ahead.

    one of my songs is not matched correctly in when I started iTunes match.  How do I fix this?

    You could try emailing iTunes support, giving them your order number, etc. or you could just take the hit and pay the 99p.  I know what I would do.

  • My MacBook Air keeps asking me for my yahoo password; which when correctly entered will not allow me into the account. iPad and iPhone both working on the same password/account.

    my MacBook Air keeps asking me for my YAHOO password; which when correctly entered will not allow me into the account. iPad and iPhone both working on the same password.

    I've got automatic downloads turned off and I tried signing out and in via the settings and still keeps asking me for an apple id.
    It doesn't do it continuously, it'll just pop up randomly ... if the phone is just sitting there it may ask for my apple id and regardless of whether I press cancel or enter my password nothing happens .. it may be another 2mins, 5mins, 15mins but eventually it'll just randomly pop up and ask me again. It does accept my password though because I tried entering an incorrect password to see what happens and it gives me the error saying it's incorrect, so when I enter the correct one in the box disappears and it accepts it as I say, but only for so long before it pops up again.

  • My macbook is loaded with microsoft work and every time I try and open the program I get an error reading and it will not open.  Powerpoint and the other applications still respond!

    my macbook is loaded with microsoft word for macs and every time I try and open the program I get an error reading and it will not open. This is what it says:
    The application Microsof Word quit eunexpectedly.  Powerpoint and the other applications still respond!

    The joys of Microsoft!
    Maybe the preferences file is corrupted.  You should be able to find the Word preferences file in the folder:
    your user name/Library/Preferences
    Its name is com.microsoft.Word.plist
    I suggest you drag this another folder and try Word again. 
    If that doesn't work then you might find clearing the cache files will fix the problem.  You can do this manually but I never bother. Instead I use a program like Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner (shareware) or Onyx (free). These programs do lots of other maintenance jobs so it's worth having at least one of them.

    I gave you the link to the Boot Camp documentation, read it carefully, mistakes in BC can have serious consequences.
    If you have not yet backed up your Mac, DO IT NOW.

  • I have the Mac OS 10.9.4  I am unable to read PDF's, so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader.  It will not install.  Is it comparable with my Mac OS?

    I have the Mac OS 10.9.4  I am unable to read PDF's, so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader.  It will not install.  Is it comparable with my Mac OS?

    More information would be good.
    What do you mean by "unable to read PDF's". How are you trying to read them and what exactly happens when you try?
    so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader.  It will not install. 
    Again, what exactly is happening?
    And yes, the latest version should be compatible with your OS.

  • Reader 9.4 will not allow saving completed Form from Pro v8

    I've just created a new form that Reader 9.4 will not let me save the completed changes on.  It will only allow viewing, modifying, printing, but not saving the changed form content.  If I open it with Pro v8, it works fine.
    I opened some forms I created a while ago, and they're working fine - view, navigate, print, and save changes.  It's just this new form that won't save.
    Is there a setting somewhere I've inadvertently set that's causing this?  My client really needs this form, but it's useless if they can't save the changes.
    Also, I Check for Updates on my 8, and it's now at v8.1.3.  I uninstalled Adobe Reader and reinstalled - no change.  It also does the same thing (not allowing saves) on two different machines.
    Thanks in advance

    That was it!
    Thanks

  • I read that Lion will not support my Quicken and/or Appleworks.  How am I going to use my financial data and my documents?

    I have read that Lion will not support Quick and/or Appleworks.  How am I to continue to use my financial data and documents?

    I posted this answer to the same question about AppleWorks in the AppleWorks community two days ago.
    I use iWork. The iWork applications - Keynote, Pages & Numbers - can only open AppleWorks 6 presentation, word processing & spreadsheet documents, respectively. They will not open any other type of AppleWorks 6 files or any AppleWorks 5 or any version of ClarisWorks files.
    The third-party application, EazyDraw, can open AppleWorks draw documents. If you still have access to AppleWorks you can copy the contents of draw documents, paste them into an AppleWorks word processing document in object mode (click the arrow in the tool panel), save the WP document & then open it in Pages. You can copy & paste from AppleWorks to Pages but you would have to do it object by object or it will be one big uneditable object. Check Yvan Koenig's iDisk for many AppleScripts he has written to make conversion easier. Most are made to do batch conversions.
    There is nothing other than AppleWorks that can open paint or database documents. Database data can be copied & pasted into an AppleWorks spreadsheet, saved & opened in Numbers or saved as ASCII/plain text & opened in most any spreadsheet, database or word processing program. Paint documents can be saved as one of many different formats to be opened in most image editing programs. I recommend using PICT or PNG for best results.
    For a replacement for Quicken, I've narrowed my choices down to SEE Finance, Moneydance or Jumsoft's Money. I need to work with them more before I make my final decision. Mac | Life suggests SEE Finance as the best option.

  • How can I download Adobe Reader if it will not accept my password?

    How can I download Adobe Reader if it will not accept my password?

    I have spent more than 3 hours (over 2 on your ask the expert where I waited forever and got about 5 minutes of Santos' time!)  He transferred me to this area where there is no one to help me.  I can't adjust my thermostat until I update my adobe reader and can't do that because your website will not take my password.  However, adobe.com will take it.  So what the hell do I do?????

  • Elements 13 crashes - Windows message - this program is not working correctly - windows will close it.

    I bought Elements 13 4 days ago through Amazon - so far it has not run for more than 5 minutes before Windows closes it down with the message - this program is not working correctly, windows will close it. I know this is not unusual but has anyone got a solution - apart from returning  it
    with a very unfavourable review? I have tried all the suggested fixes on the Adobe help site with no result.  Elements 10 runs OK on the same machine.
    Alternatively, is there any possible way to get support from Adobe?

    Do you have any version of Premiere Elements 13 or only Photoshop Elements 13 which comes with Elements Organizer 13?
    Let us look at the following for Elements Organizer 13....
    1. Deletion of disabling the Elements Organizer 13 setting file which is named psa.prf. In Windows 7, 8, o 8.1 64 bit, it is found in the
    path
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Elements Organizer
    13.0
    Organizer
    and in the Organizer Folder is the psa.prf file that you delete or disable by renaming it from psa.prf to psa.prfOLD.
    2. If the above gains you successful entry into the Elements Organizer 13, then you can
    a. create a new catalog
    and/or
    b. repair or optimize the current one
    See Elements Organizer 13/File Menu/Manage Catalogs/Catalog Manager.
    3. There are times that certain formats will bring the Elements Organizer down when you try to import those formats into
    it.  But, from what you wrote, your current problems do not sound media related.
    3. At your earliest opportunity, please update Elements Organizer 13 to 13.1 using its Help Menu/Updates.
    Please review and consider and then let us know the outcome.
    Thank you.
