    Try again

    I put this out a while back but lets see if I can get new response.Here is the deal. I have a desktop computer with 2 cd disk drives and a new game called Fear. I can put any software disk in either drives and the drives see all the data on the disks but I put the new Fear disk in either of the drives and neither of the drives see any data on the disk. No here is the deal if I put the new fear disk in any other computer the drives see the data on the fear disk. Very confusing to me. any help?

    Oh yeah, the newer/more complex games have to be on DVD to handle their sheer size. Check the disk to make sure. Otherwise, it could be your codecs don't read the particular format that the game requires. There are free codec-pack downloads to remedy that.
