Might and Magic 8 - CD problem

trunterzx
I have just installed MM8: day of destroyers, but I cannot play the game. Whenever I click on the game icon, it says please insert the MM8 CD. I'm running on Windows XP. Does anyone know what's the problem? Do I need some cracks or anything?.

Sims Deluxe Edition problem

S_DE
I've had The Sims Deluxe Edition for years now. I played a lot when we first purchased it and then stopped for a while. A few months ago, I got back into playing it regularly, and it was still working just fine.

Windows XP Problem Red Alert 2 & Yuri Revenge

zaphod2003
Red Alert 2 suddenly stopped working, no new software added, no XP updates, no hardware changes. When I start playing it, when the character talks the games freezes for about 5 seconds and then carries on.

Odd 3DO malfuction.

one thread wonder
This is gross personalization of computers, but mine seems to be biased against, of all things, the long extict company 3DO. When I put the disc into the drive, my computer puts up the innocent, yet incredibly annoying, unknown publisher window.
