I think this is the wrong forum for this....I think your question would be appropriate in 'The Basement' or 'Thema Devia'? Also, you didn't provide much detail to go on for anyone to help....

Moved to the Basement from the PH&A.

Do you have your permissions in Windows set up to install this?
How much free disc space do you have?
Have you checked the disc for fingerprints, dirt, scratches, etc.?

Yes.
Not sure, I didn't see how much free space.

Oh.... yeah, I notice my disc is bit scratches. It's only stop around 97%

I still play this game from time to time on my PC - windows 7 64 bit. It works perfectly except the max resolution for this game is capped.

Anyways do what Sir Ron said, most likely permission issues or scratched disk.

And all bets would be that's where the scratches are.
Try a dab of toothpaste and plenty of elbo grease to fill in the scratches. Be sure to wipe off all excess toothaste or it won't read the disc at all. I had to do it to my RTW disc.

You sure, its will work? B-but with toothpaste!? You did it before? I never did it before. But actually I don't Elbo grease. What if I use toothpaste with my disc without elbo grease with my disc?

**irishron** · August 27, 2012, 02:15 PM

Elbow grease = rubit in real good. I just went around in a circle putting pressure from my hand on the disc while rubbing.
One member said he used furniture polish.

**Captain Jupiter** · August 27, 2012, 02:18 PM

Ahh, I should buy that! But furniture polish is good too?

**irishron** · August 27, 2012, 02:22 PM

I only know toothpaste for sure. Personally I question the furniture polish idea.

**Captain Jupiter** · August 27, 2012, 02:25 PM

Fine, OK. Many thanks for helping me understand.

You're welcome.

Also always try to make images when CDs\DVDs gets scratched. Images are made at full read speed from the optical drive so chances are that faulty sectors also gets picked up easily.
