cutterschoice Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 How old is your laptop and is it a dvd player you have or cd, also have you tried testing any other game disks or dvds to see if they work also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter-evo Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Have you gone into my computer and observed whether it says whether there is anything in the CD/DVD Drive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazzamcg Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Right click on the drive with the fm '09 dvd in it and select properties. Is it stating the 2.10gb or stating the dvd as empty ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leedsforever Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Legends - this is a known, common problem but I'm afraid I haven't seen any official comment on this issue. My friend had it on his PC and I had it on my laptop but it seemed to sort itself out (this was random and I can't see that we did anything to get it working).
