AdZV Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I went out today and bought myself a new PC to play FM and other games like GTR Evo etc. And I have installed FM on the family PC and no problems. I put the disc into this PC and it wont read it. All i hear is the DVD drive trying to read it but it wont. When I click on it the window just freezes on me. It also wont let me eject it so I have to restart. GTR Evo works fine and so do many other DVD discs I have. Anybody any ideas why this is?

Cityull Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 is the disc clean? sorry its the only thing I can think of Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonBlade Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Strange. I'd take the PC back and get them to swap the drives out. GTR Evo is amazing. If you want a league to join, give me a holler. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt ex SEGA Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Possibly. Try updating the DVD Drive drivers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdZV Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 Uninstalled the drivers and updated them and still nothing. My friend has the same PC and his works. Trying to see if its the same drive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbabaggie Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 AdZV I'm having to do this because I think my drive has burnt out. Might be an option for you My computer will not read my DVD disc You can download the game in Steam without using the disc using the game code you have from your purchased game. Download Steam from here - http://store.steampowered.com/about/ Install Steam on your computer Once installed, open up Steam Go to My Games Go to Activate a product on Steam Enter your Activation Code found on the back of the manual. (Use http://keylookup.fm2009.softanchorinsight.com/ to see you got all the 0's and o's right) Steam should now download your game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
