I'm trying to install Age of Conan. When I place DVD in the drive it makes a repetitive sound and does not appear to spin up. DVD is not recognized by system: no pop up window, explorer indicates there is no DVD in rom.
I place AoC in a second machine (running XP Pro) and install screen appears.
I have installed OS & Office with the rom and placed a CIV IV DVD in drive and that installation started. (i.e. I believe the rom works)
For whatever the reason AoC is not even recognized by the rom. Running Vista Ultimate 64 bit SP1 User Account Control turned OFF
Software & Games set to "install or run program" Logged in as administrator
(Fresh OS install - all drivers are current)
I would very much appreciate any assistance, -Donoh
Then ...properly your Optic(DVD) is on the way down hill ....meaning one of the laser could not read at all .sometime it can read cd but not Dvd ..
I had some problems like that....and end up buying another DVd burner.
Copy the files off the DVD to the HD on the XP machine and transfer them across with either a USB stick or burnt DVD to the Vista machine. You may have to use a no-dvd fix if the disc still won't be read on the Vista machine.
I fear the drive might be bad after all as I tried using a cleaning disk to clean the lens and that errored out... It kind of takes the mystery out of it at this point.
