    I had a problem installing the second CD of NBA Live 2004 after succesfully installing of the first CD. Then the CD drive would not respond.

    Recently I bought the Winning Eleven Soccer game and after the succesful install it did not run. The message said "no CD in the drive, insert your CD".

    I called the technical support for that game and apparently I have a conflict.
    Later I found out that the conflict is a file called tfswctrl.exe located in the C:\windows\system32\DLA.
    I simply uncheched it on the startup menu and the game worked.

    I searched this file on this forum and could not find anything. I am wondering if I am the only one with this problem or most people will reformat their hard drive.

    I search the internet and apparently this file is part of Sonic Solutions DVD/CD Suite & provides drive letter access to drive.

    I am wondering if anyone encounter such a problem and if there is any harm of unchecking it.

    Thanks.

    Cool....great post, I have not did a full re-install...I am going to wait a little while for that. I am going to try and re-install WoW and see if it works now.

    Like I said...great info and I know alot of people were having this problem.
