All three games install but when I go to play them I get a messge telling me
to insert the correct CD-ROM when the right disc is in the drive. I've tried
both drives and it works on neither. I will add that one cd drive is a DVD
drive and the other is a CD/DVD burner. Also, all three games worked fine on
Windows 98SE.

Are you running as an admin user?

Do you have any CD-emulation software installed, this can be things like
Nero, Virtual Daemon and Alcohol 120%, if you do, try removing them
rebooting and see what happens.

There's also a patch that fixed a bug between fast-switching and limited
users and copy-protection systems that may help which can be downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...0f-c41c-44fe-84ce-1df707d7a2e9&displaylang=en

Failing those try getting on to EA (and Ubi I think?) they may have
information on specific drives that have compatibility issues with the copy
protection system they're using.
