Ok..for aawhile now ..i have had the odd problem installing some games.

but vice city has me stumped. I put it in the drive//and just get an hour glass. if i click on processes..i find it is launching setup.exe one after the other...so that i get hundreds of them running and 100% cpu utilization (if i let it go on that long).
so i thought it might be new copyright measures that make it tough even on original disks...
well i just upgraded my old 2001 LG to a may 2003 model.
the GCE-8523B 52 25 52 re-writer.
and it does the same thing...spawns set up over and over.
in my DVD rom ...once i got it to partially install until near the end it said incorrect volume... (by bypassing autorun)

what is going on??? TIA
*pulls hair out in frustration"
the faq files...indeed, all of the internet does not mention this problem.
But i'm not imagining it and i am using ORIGINAL disks!

Try to create a copy of the original discs, and install it from them.
Of course if you can create a copy at all
Try another computer.

OP
well new cd rw had same problem of spawning infinit setup processes'.
but, finally, i did get the game installed, after numerous attempts, on the dvd/cd-rom.
not sure why it was a problem..but at least it eventually installed properly from a cd-rom device.
