If I ever get that error I normally just clean the disc, restart the computer and it works.

Maybe you should reinstall your Windows, Olorin?

thats too far and not necessary. unless he is having problems with everything, i would just clean the disc

[Hearach]

This happened to me once.
I took the disc out and put back in again
It worked

[Olorin]

Hunter, if I had a dollar for every time I tried that up until now, I would have bought myself another copy of B4ME I, II, and ROTWK. But I will try cleaning the disk, though at the moment quite a few things are stuffing up with Windows so I'm getting it repaired.

Speaking of which, how do I clean up the disk?

[Celeglin]

You can probably get a disk cleaning kit from your local computers/electronics store. They're pretty cheap and work reasonably well. Worst comes to worst, a soft cloth and vinegar (don't dunk it in the vinegar!) will do the trick.

Oh, you mean physically, I thought you meant as in a way of doing it on the computer. My bad. I'll be playing TEA in no time.

[Olorin]

It's not working. It still keeps coming up with that same message . Any tips guys?

[Celeglin]

If you have Windows XP, try installing on a different account and playing from there. I know that some games (Fable, for example) hate my XP settings and won't run on my modding account.

I'll try what you said, but I know for a fact that it's not the disks. I (literally) just installed ROTWK (which is brand new; got it for Christmas) and the same thing came up. I might be missing a component from my computer. Might not having a DVD player program installed be the problem?

I just tried what Celeglin suggested, no luck. I'm pretty sure it's because of the DVD program...

What do you mean?

Obviously, if he has the DVD version of the game, he has a DVD drive (I'm sure you've been able to play BfME before, right?). Something must have happened in the interem that's messed up your computer's ability to recognize certain DVDs/CDs. I doubt it's the DVD player thing (you don't need a DVD player program to read DVDs, just to watch DVD movies). I suggest you just go in somewhere to get it checked.

[Olorin]

I see, and yes I've been able to play them in the past, until about a month ago. I'll try your suggestion. Thanks for all your help guys .
