    ok This May Be A Bit Of A Older Not-so Exciting Game, But, Here Goes. I Installed Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 On My Laptop And Everytime I Try And Play It It Tels Me To Insert The Disk! But, Its Already In The Drive? I Click Ok And It Still Gives Me The Box Thats Tells Me To Insert The Disk?? Ive Also Tried Running It In Compatiblity Mode For Win Xp....still No Good??

    Any Ideas???

    This Is Also The Only Game It Does This With. All Others Work Perfectly. Iv Also Updated The Game. Whats Strange Is This Morning I Tried It Without The Disk In The Drive And It Worked??? Why? But Then It Quit Working Again. So I Unistalled It And Rann Cc Cleaner And Resinstalled And Updated It Again. Still Same Thing. Is Also Does This Before And After I Update It.

    No answer for your problem, but please don't post like this. It's extremely annoying for people to read.

    The disk might just be bad or hard to read. Or it may use a form of DRM that your drive cannot work with. You might try ripping the DVD using alcohol 120% and storing it as a .iso file on your hard drive. Other methods of getting past this issue are not allowed for discussion on this forum.
