| : 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,

| issue.
