    Happy right now ^^
it says: "cant not read disk my be corrupt. if the disk is formatted make sure your running it so windows can recognize it. if unformatted you may have to format it and try again" that basically what it says its an older dvd/cd-rom think i might have to download something like powerDvD or something? ive already uninstalled it and device manager and reinstalled it and everything, it only does it to my dvd movies and this game so far that ive tryed

The disc might be corrupt. Make sure that the disc uses a format that windows recongnizes. If the disc is unformatted you need to format it before using. that the exact message

Try exchanging it for another one at the store you bought it from.

From your description it sounds like your optical drive has failed. Since the game DVD installs on another machine, you know that's not the problem. Since you also have problems playing other DVD's, your issue is with the drive.

You can attempt to resolve the issue by updating your drive's firmware, but in all likelihood, while that may fix one issue, it might also cause another. Drives are very cheap these days; you can pick one up for ~ $20.00 and expect to get about a years worth of service from it, dependent on usage.

It's possible that you can't copy it to a DVD disk or install from an RW, you may have to download it on every PC. Copyright restrictions. Some games and movies can only be run from a DVD-Rom. You may have to get one to play on. I bought an external DVD-Rom to play my games on it works fine.
