    I dont get it. It just worked a few days ago and now when I put the game in, it doesn't recognize that the cd in the cd-drive and it tells me to restart the action.

    ugh.So I call gamestop and they tell ME I can replace it, if I have a receipt and so I paid with cash and misplaced my receipt.

    I still have yet to go into gamestop, but before I do I wanted to run it by you guys.

    My cd-drive will read other cd's just not the assassin's creed one. I've run virus protectors, burned cd's and none say they have problems.


    Can someone help me?

    Edit: I knew I should of bought from steam. Damn. I don't have to worry about cd problems, only steam problems.

    Try updating your drive firmware if it needs an update. Worst case scenario, have a friend rip an ISO and mount it with Daemon Tools.

    Deamon tool & Alchohol fail the protection on almost everything now... The solution is the other solution.

    I blame the government! Just tell the manager at Gamestop that since they sold you a defective product, and you were considering legal action to remedy the situation. They will fold faster than the NSA can break into your laptop!
