"Insert correct CD" message when trying to play game.

Bought laptop befor Christmas. Periodically will not automatically boot up Age of Empires game when CD inserted. Sometimes will work if I restart computer, or sometimes if I run as administrator. Now, keeps asking for correct game CD, but wont accept it as being the correct one although its the only one I own. For a short period I also noticed that the computer was unaware that a CD rom was installed on the computer, but I suppose that cleared up on its own because I didnt do anything to fix it myself.  This problem might not even be related. Any suggestions?

You may also want to post similar message in Age Of Empires forum as it may be more related to the game than the computer.

  • Error message when trying to play a movie

    hi i am trying to watch a rented movie when i gat an error message suggesting trying later error number = (-42110) not sure why any help welcomed

    Hi there, annalese2012!
    I've done a little research on that error code for you and it looks like it is mentioned in an article we have online, located here:
    iTunes: Possible iTunes Store errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1424
    The article suggested for dealing with that error code can be found here, and it is the advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting article:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
    It looks like this section in that article specifically has the information you might need:
    "Error 42023" through "Error 42408"
    These alerts might occur when trying to authorize iTunes or during launch when iTunes checks for authorization information.
    Install the latest iTunes from apple.com/itunes/download/
    Remove the SC Info folder.
    If that does not resolve the issue, see iTunes: "Error 42408" or "Error 42404" after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.3.
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
    Regards,
    Braden

  • HT1923 Trying to remove ITunes so I can reinstall getting message from windows installer /feature that you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable? How do I correct same message when trying to install upgrade.

    Message receiving is from windows installer:the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable

    Many thanks.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does it go through properly this time?

  • HT4108 not authorized message when trying to play a video on the tv?

    does anyone know what to do I purchased the video from i tunes.  I'm trying to play it throuh the ipad to the tv but it won't connect it says not authorized?

    Were these songs purchased using another account?
    " I opened a new iTunes account and copied the files to the new account.  "
    Do you mean to a new library?
    Account is a user neame and password with which you purchase content.
    A library is your collection of media.

  • Help me?! graph card problems when trying to play games on mac in wmvare-windows 7

    I know that you aren't suppose too play games on mac. But I bought a iMac 27"
    Processor  3,5 GHz Intel Core i7
    Minne  16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Grafik  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB
    and I installed wmvare and windows 7 so I could do gameplays for my YouTube channel on PC games. I didn't boot because I were insecure but anyways. I installed wmvare and windows 7 sucesfully but then when I were going too try too run the game Black Ops 2 in steam it poped up a message that told me
    "DirectX encountered an unrecoverable error. Check the readme for possible solutions." So I sat for hours trying too understand what the problem was, trying to update DirectX with more. Since I already had the latest DirectX that wasent the problem. And finaly I found the sulution. There were some problem with the grapich card so I needed too upgrade the grapich card. Well ofcourse NIVIDIA didn't have any driver for the GTX 775M grapich card. I checked here https://discussions.apple.com/message/24065327#24065327 and used the link that took me to were I could dowload the drivers. When the dowloading were done and I started the system check after a while it stoped and told me that the NVIDIA installation coulden't go on. Becuase this graphics routine could not find any compatible graphics hardware. So what is the sulution? Because I am not going (I have already put so much money on this) pay more for this too work so as ordering new stuff like a driver, another grapich card or anything lika that I dont want to boot my computer but if I must I perhaps will do it just if I dont need to pay for another windows 7. So I want a awnser were I can and how I can dowload the drivers so that I can play games on my mac for exampel; Black Ops 2, Battelfield 3/4, The Forest, Day Z. Would be greatfull for awnsers that have a sulution!!!!

    Okey, so when I was going too boot my computer it works good untill half the way thruh when boot campassistant is going too dowload the latest windows assistant it says "This computer can just do windows 7" then I press next after a few seconds it says "Can't dowload files because the server is busy" (this was just from my memory it may have been somthing else, but it is pretty much what it said).

  • CONSTANT "Supported Disc Not Available" message when trying to play DVDs

    Does anyone have any idea what the **** is going on with Leopard!? Specifically, whenever I insert a DVD to play it in DVD Player 5.0, i almost always encounter the message "Supported Disc Not Available". At first I thought perhaps it was that I was trying to use some DVD encoded or burned with really new technology or something but then thought that that wouldn't be the problem since Leopard was just released and well after the most recent video DVD formats. Furthermore, the DVDs in question were released years ago. That said, what the **** is going on. I've verified and repaired disk permissions millions of times. I've tried restarting, shutting down and waiting then restarting...nothing seems to help. Can anyone advise?

    Hi everybody, I have experienced that frustration also. I don't clearly know why the message appears, however I know that it happens with discs burnt form a computer (just like ronanocallaghan said). I haven't found a way to solve the precise moment, however THERE IS a way around it. When you open DVD Player instead of clicking on "Play" go to File > Open DVD Media. Once the dialog box appears select the DVD, select the folder inside the DVD most likely called "VIDEO_TS" and click open. This way the DVD Player will successfully find the movie or whatever you are trying to see. I don't know the reason but hey, it works. Another weird thing is that this just happens in the computer because if you try to play it in a DVD it doesn't give not error! Hope it helps and i'll keep finding the reason of why it doesn't work!

  • Error message when trying to play videos in iTunes

    Updated to iTunes 10.4 using OS X v10.7 and now get error message "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes when playing music videos in iTunes".  This did not happen in previous version of iTunes.

    there is a temporary fix that seem to have worked for everyone who has tried it. it's on a different discussion thread here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15721591#15721591
    Basically if you run iTunes 10.4 in 32 bit mode the plugins will work!

  • Error message when trying to play music in  iTunes 8

    I just upgraded to iTunes 8.0.1.11. When I now try to play any music (except for iTunes store purchases), I get an error message that says...
    The song "x" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it? Then shows the cancel and yes buttons.
    I never had a problem with iTunes upgrades before. I see all the songs in my library, but just can't play them. All the music was playable and worked fine before I upgraded to this version. The only thing different I did notice after installing this, was it made a new "previous iTunes library" folder dated the day the upgrade was done. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • All Youtube videos give error message when trying to play

    I've had this problem for a little over a week now. All YouTube videos, whether they are embedded on another site or on YouTube itself, do not play. Instead, I get an error message that says "An error occurred. Please try again later." Videos from other sites that are not in whatever format YouTube videos are in still work (such as Hulu, Dailymotion, and others).
    Another thing that doesn't work on YouTube is when I click on my username in the top right hand corner to see a drop-down list of my playlists. The drop-down menu that appears just says "Loading..." and never loads. I have tried to follow YouTube's instructions, but I have done everything they've recommended.
    I have tried reinstalling/updating Adobe Flashplayer, Adobe Reader (not that it matters), turning off my McAfee firewall, and even reinstalling Firefox 6.0.2.
    I should also note that on Internet Explorer I am experiencing no problems with YouTube at all, but I really don't like Internet Explorer.

  • Error message when trying to play music on computer states The song ... could not be used because the original file could not be found.  However, my library shows how many items and the GBs used.  How do I locate the files?

    When I try to play my iTunes music on my computer, an error message comes up and state "The song (title of song) could not be used because the original file could not be found.  Would you like to locate it?
    When I click on Locate It, I cannot find where the music file may be located.  Does anyone have any suggestions?
    This all occurred when I attempted to do a backup to an external hard drive.  Unbeknownest to me, the files did not copy over and do not appear on the external hard drive. 
    When I open my iTunes library, at the bottom of my music list it shows how many songs and the GBs, so it appears that the files are still there; however, cannot be located.
    Thank you.

    Hi angela dfromtx,
    When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. You'll have to locate the file manually if it is still available. For more information refer to the following article:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
    Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:
