GillsMan Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Is it just the autorun that's disabled, or when you go to My Computer does it not show up in the DVD drive at all? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazzydeepy Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 hmmm... does your computer meet the minimum specs? If you type in canyourunit on google, click the first link from there and then select FM 09 from the drop down menu, you should know if your PC is good enough.

That shouldn't make any difference, if his comp has a DVD drive, it should read the disc whether it meets the minimum specs or not Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GillsMan Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 OK, in terms of troubleshooting, the first thing you should do is pop the disk into another computer and check that it's STILL able to be read by another computer. Also, you should put ANOTHER disk into your current computer and check that that can be read. This should tell us whether the problem is with the disk or the DVD player.

No need to apologise mate, that is actually an acceptable assumption to make. Nowadays however, things like this tend to be less of an issue as they were when DVD drives were first appearing. So, in general, it is safe to assume, that a PC game like FM will be read by the vast majority of drives, should they read DVDs that is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
