Hi Chris,

Here are several more ideas / possible solutions to try. I hope they help! :-)

1. Create another Administrator user account and install the game using it.

2. Try copying the entire CD to your hard drive and then run the
     setup / installation program from there. To copy the CD click:
        My Computer, Right-Click the CD, Choose "Copy",
            then Right-Click on your Hard Drive, Choose "Paste".

3. Change the Local CD Rom Access Security Policy by either following
the instructions below, or more easily, you can download the Registry Fix
from: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm Line 264 / 2nd Col.
titled: Access Denied - CD Rom, ... Doubleclick the Reg Fix after you DL it
for it to install. If you prefer the manual method, then follow the steps below:

To change the policy with the policy editor, using an Administrators account,
    Click Start / Control Panel and Click Administrative Tools
        Click on "Local Security Policy" to start that Application

    Click the + to expand Local Policies / Click on Security Options
        In the list on the Left right look for the following entry:
        "Devices: Restrict CD-ROM access to locally logged-on user only"
            If it says Enabled, right click on it / Properties / select Disabled.
                If it was already Disabled leave it alone. Close the Application.

| That's very nice of you, Jimmy. The message reads:
|
| "Could not verify installation media. Click cancel to end setup or retry to
| attempt to continue. For more information, see Readme, which is available on
| the root of disk 1."
|
| (Readme is no use at all!) I am the only account on this computer & am set
| to Administrator.
|
| Jimmy, I am also trying to get this resolved with MS online support, but
| with no luck. (I've not heard anything from them since the 11th...) I shall
| post the last message & response below. Note that the problem has changed a
| little since Victor suggested trying Win98/2000 mode.
|
| Any help is much appreciated,
|
| Cheers,
|
