  bought Microsoft Age of Empires Collectors edition. It has all the games above on 1 disk. I have windows 7 Home premium 34 bit. When I put the disc in the drive of the computer says there is nothing in there and nothing appears. the drive works with the other discs.was really looking forward to play. Help, please!

  ... but would it not able to detect in the drive

  Yes, there is no reason why the drive is not recognized short a faulty drive or defective disc. Your statement in a previous reply that 'the player works with other drives' leads me to believe the former. Sometimes, the discs can be read by another CD/DVD drive. Maybe you can use another computer to copy the contents of the disk (s) on a USB stick and transfer data across like a folder or an ISO.

• Age of Empires III: the Asian Dynasties cannot install the "Art5.bar" of the case and would not proceed beyond this file. I have

  Original title:

  Age of Empires III: the Asian Dynasties

  After a few years with Age of Empires III: the Asian Dynasties uninstalled I recently tried to install it. When the Setup could not install the file "Art5.bar" and would not proceed beyond this file. I tried several facilities with the same result. If it is a zero or a problem with the disc, is there no way, far from buying a new copy, which would allow the installation of The Asian Dynasties or would repair the disk? Is it not possible to force the installation to jump before the installation of the file "Art5.bar" and try to find the file online a patch or another source?

  I found similar questions online and was trying a possible solution, which was to copy files from my drive in another file and try to install from there. Then I discovered that windows can not copy a certain file on the disk, called ' YPack_ ~ 1 ' correctly. The copy process stop, just as the installer of The Asian Dynasties had previously and would not then spent the ' YPack_ ~ 1 ' file. I was also unable to copy the file '00002.tmp', but I was able to jump in front of the copy of the file. I don't know if this file is corrupted and critical for installation, were not able to determine if yes, when you attempt to run Setup from the folder Setup cannot start the installation of The Asian Dynasties without the ' YPack_ ~ 1 ' file. I have not found similar questions online and do not know if this is the issue of the installation of The Asian Dynasties or indicates files corrupted on my drive.

  Hi, I could not also copy the 00002.tmp, but I think it might be due to a cyclic redundancy check indicating a damaged drive.

  Maybe try to download this file from the internet and (after checking that it is the right file) replacing the version on your CD.
