Hey,
I just got this game off eBay. The discs look like there in good condition, and I know that other people have gotten this game to run in XP without any extra programs (like DOS box), but I can't get it to run.

When I insert the disc, it attempts to read it - but nothing happens. So I go to Start > Run... > Browse To The CD Drive, and I recieve the following message:

Windows cannot read from this disc. The disc may be corrupted, or using a format not compatable with windows.

Now, I tried this on a 16x, a DVD player, and an old CD ROM, and I still get the same message everytime. I even tried it on a 32x on my other computer, and still get the same error. So it can't be the CD player, I'm thinking maybe the OS (I have XP with SP2), but then again, other people have gotten it to run on XP.

It won't even run through DOS BOX, because the CD is just not getting picked up. Now, I realise there is a possibility that the CD is bad, but I get the same message with every CD (there are six cds with the game). 6 corrupted CDs? Also, the CDs are in near perfect condition as far as scratches and dirt goes. I realise I got it from eBay and people can rip you off, but I got it from someone with over 700 positive reviews, no negative, so I don't think its a scam.

So I dont know what it could possibly be, any help would be greatly appreciated, if I failed to mention any necessary specs or settings let me know, thanks a lot.
