Well, I put in an old DVD drive I had laying around, and it fixed the problem. The original drive played DVD movies just fine, so I didn't think there was a problem with it. I guess I should have tried that first! Oh well, live and learn. Thanks so much for all of the help, JustaGeek, I...

Hi JustaGeek, Thanks so much for the welcome and the reply. I tried what you suggested and I am still having the same problem. I am scouring the internet trying to find a solution and will post it here if I find one. Thanks again for the help. :)

Hi there, I am having problems when trying to install DVD games. The error message varies depending on what game I am trying to install. I have tried installing Sims 2, Oblivion and EQ2 ( all DVDs ), and I either get an error regarding AutoRun or Setup.exe. The error I am getting when...
