This is a *very* frustrating issue, I think in my case at least I have proven that my discs are 'ok', as I've been able to install it at work problem free (Philips dvd-writer), and able to explore it at home on the laptop (Sony VAIO AR21S). The installation continued and I am able to play the game. At the prompt for disc two I clicked on 'Browse' and selected the folder 'MED2' on my desktop and clicked ok. I then rebooted the laptop, placed disc one back in and choose 'Install', this progressed exceptionally quickly because it hadn't removed any of the files from the first attempt (they actually go into the install directory rather than a 'Temp' directory, although the 'Installer' files do go into a 'Temp' directory.

I then tried exploring disc two, I could see it in 'My Computer', I created a folder on my desktop called 'MED2' and copied all of the files from disc two into the folder - this worked. I tried the discs on my laptop, the first disc was recognised, auto-played and starting installing, when the prompt for the second disc appeared and disc two was placed in the drive, nothing happened, it just timed out and gave the 'Not responding' message, I was subsequently unable to 'End Task' this program, which seems to appear as '_ISnn.exe' where nn is a random number generated by the installer. I tried the discs on my PC at work, the game installed fine with none of the above issues.Ĥ. I tried via 'My Computer' and again nothing, the label of the disc didn't even appear.ģ. Tried to install the game on my 'gaming' PC - nothing happened when putting disc one, or disc two into my DVD-Rom drive. Ordered the game from Play.Com - it arrived swiftly, to the tune of £29.99Ģ. I experienced the same problems with this game also - here's my story.ġ.
