Thanks for ideas. I cannot see the files on disc because when I enter the
disc in the drive it locks the computer ie can not get no further with any
commands. I have tried it on a friends computer and it reads it there. Yes
my
drive reads dvd films but not this chess program. yes it a dvd player and
its
obvious to put the dvd in the right way round. I have consulted chessbase
and
they do not know. Maybe I have an incorrect installation somewhere.
It locks the computer? Are there any other symptoms you haven't yet
mentioned?
If this is the same chess game that you're also posting about under "Runtime
Error" in the microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers group, then it might have
been worth amalgamating the two sets of problems into one post. There you're
talking about getting a runtime error when you try to "open them" (install
them or play them?).
How does the surface of the disc look, free from grease, scratches?
Maybe the manufacturer will swap your disc for a replacement new one.
I think if it were me, I'd try copying the files from disc on to a friend's
computer, burn my own copy from thaand see if that works.
And yes, to most people it *is* obvious which way up to put a disc in - but
you'd be surprised. I've found that it's always worth checking what I think
is obvious; it can save a load of time if it's not so obvious to other
people.
