Having too many CD/DVD programs can cause strange problems, especially if they're loading of parts of
themselves at the start because they will be competing for resources. This does not mean that this issue has been
caused by those, however, it's a possibility depending on which and how many you have installed.

You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
correctly.

Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always problematic.

CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

==========================================================

After the foregoing:

References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
a process that solves the problem.

Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
below.

Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
contacts data with a pencil eraser.

Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

===============================

Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
do it right.

Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the
correct registry entries for your car.

Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive

    Hi NoOneSpeciale,

    Hi Shannon,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

    This is because the computer was arrested while playing game. The game files might have been corrupted.

    Method 1: The restore of the system on your computer.

    System Restore will take your computer state permeable when it did not face such a problem, this can be done by selecting the correct restore point.
     
    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    2. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
    3. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
    4. click on finish.

    For more information visit http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936212/

    Method 2: If the same problem then I suggest to uninstall and reinstall the game and check.

    Hope this information is useful.
    Let me know if it worked.
     
    Thank you, and in what concerns:

    Maybe your security software prevents this? What security software currently installed and have you tried to disable it temporarily?

  • Not able to play the game Metro 2033 on Windows Vista-based computer.

    I just installed the game Metro 2033 on my Vista system that uses a 1080 screen.  In fact, I have two identical screens.

    The game requires activation Steam and Steam normally will attempt to update the program rather than simply enable it during installation.  This leaves a person in the dark as to what happens during the installation.

    It turns out, I use a 3G modem that Steam refuses to support their network of Bit Torrent, so download speed for an update of a concert is around 12 kb/s or 8 hours to make the point on a program that has not yet installed.

    After work, I was quite surprised to find that the program would not go on Steam.  He then took a few hours to find out that there is a solution, that I could load the game by running the executable file that had been installed in the directory Steam for Metro 2033.

    Unfortunately Metro2033, when started this default way a unknown screen resolution.  Thus when the game is started from the Steam directory nested, one gets a message "out of range" on the display of 1080 and nothing can be seen.

    Short of launching the game out, I tried the game again, to my great joy, the second run displays a safe mode issue and I ran it in safe mode.  It is quite an exciting game and I played it all night.  However, I had also contacted support original THQ regarding installation problem/solution.

    Then I fell asleep.  The PC was on.

    The next day, I played the 2003 Metro game again, but I entered in some difficult areas of the game, and I had to reload the saved game.  After awhile, I opted to exit the program.  Later, I started the program, but this time I inadvertently clicked on the Metro2033 icon who had installed Steam.   In my solution, I had pasted a link to the directory of Steam under the original icon and had pressed the wrong button.

    Of course, the first thing I saw, after playing the game for 12 hours, was "out of range".  I opted to return to the office...

    ... However I couldn't come back on the Vista desktop.  I have a 7000, and even Microsoft Entertainment keyboard by pressing the buttons of Windows or Media center wouldn't let me come back to the office.

    The day before, I needed to do this that I've experienced to workaround to start getting and I noticed that the only way I could get on the desktop to run the Task Manager to kill the out of range on my screen message has been to press the Media Center button.

    Once the Media Center menu on breaking the subway 2003 menu I could then enter the office and use the Task Manager.

    However, the next day when I inadvertently started the STEAM version, and again, the screen is become black and says 'Out of Range', I found that my system was stuck in this loop.  No way to get in the Manager of tasks at all, not even with the Media center button on my keyboard.

    Now the background of my question.  When I was forced to start my system again, I noticed the normal BIOS screen and the bar of Vista with Vista is loading, then the familiar sound of Vista boot, but now NO SCREEN at all on startup!  Now, something had inserted a driver in my Vista start which forced my display say "Out of Range" from the start of the desktop of Vista and Vista computer has not yet noticed this.  Normally, I would think that they claim that the screen resolution is wrong and put it on, instead, nothing else than the out of range message rigid or flexible boots.

    Original title: can someone tell me what happened here? Metro2033 and steam game.

    I checked by plugging my second monitor.   The system has Safe Mode startup and I was able to do a restore of the system from the previous day to evening to return to the office.   However, I am quite confused as to what happened.  How the Metro 2033 problem "out of range" migrate to Windows startup by running an update of Steam?

    I use the latest service pack for Vista.


    It seems that the STEAM snuck in an update and then everything worked fine.

  • Is there a program that will allow me to play the game of win95/98 under XP SP2?

    I'm playing star trek armada on my pc but his works do not, it installed ok, will load and run the main menu ok, but as soon as I try and play a level screenbreaks up diferent in blocks of color, I tried to run it in compatibility mode for 95 and 98, but it won't work any help will be much appreciated.

    If you have or are able to legally acquire a Windows 98 license and product that you did not use to upgrade to Windows XP, then you have a few more options:

    1. You can dual boot XP and Win 98 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306559
    2. You can try to run Win 98 virtualized on your Win XP Host http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
    #1 option will be the best if you can come up with another hard drive or find a way to backup/repartition your existing hard drive.   The only problem you might encounter is that some features of yourNEW computer may not work in stand-alone 98.
    Option n ° 2 will be the lowest risk but you will need a Core 2 Duo or betterprocessor so that it works well enough for this scenario.  Virtual Box is free, and you must repartition your hard drive to try out it.  Virtual machine works pretty well for most things; Unfortunately, it will be probably slow for games.  It is possible, however, that your NEW computer is fast enough and that Star Trek Armada is old enough that youcan actually be able to have a pleasant experience.  Some people have really succeeded with older games doing that.
    Or the other option that you choose, you will need to acquire a completely valid original Windows 98 and you want to buy a Windows XP upgrade.  If I have several of Microsoft's EULA, buying anupgraded Version of a new OS invalidate your right to the old operating system.

    Original title: startup problem

    Hi SomBhattacharya,

    Please try the possible fix following first thanks to Carey Frisch:

    1. open the BIOS of the motherboard.
    2. find where it says Priority Boot Device, then select CD/DVD-ROM 1, 2nd Hard Drive and disable all the rest.
    3 find somewhere in the BIOS where it says BOOT USB, Wake on USB, etc. and disable all unnecessary options.

    And second if it does not help, you can try the following with Blue Michael:

    Local Geek Squad had me intentionally set the BIOS to the correct order, then re-order and SAVE.
    It worked, even if the list of the BIOS was always in the right order.

    I hope this helps!

  • After playing the game the Sims 2, impossible to shut down the computer, get black screen

    Hi all

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and I recently installed the Sims 2 DVD Edition. The game itself works very well. He's not planting or lag or cause my computer is turned off. I can walk much and create characters; what I noticed is that some of the sound effects play, which is minimal.
    However, after playing the game and I'm going to shut my computer down, the screen just goes black and the computer stays on. The processor will run nothing will work. The computer just stays, but the screen remains black. He doesn't even go to the "shutting down" screen or anything. Straight black. I let it stay like that for 15 minutes just to see if maybe, it was just to take some time, but the computer still shuts.
    It normally stops if I do not play Sims 2.
