    K, I posted this problem before and try as you all might, you couldn't help. But the possibilty of a compatability problem was never looked at. And this is such an infuriating problem I'm willing to ask for help again.

    Right, ToB disk will not work for some reason, it just wont boot up. My pc does not even register it being in the drive (and the disk is fine, no problems with it at all, it works fine on all the other pc's i tried it on). What's more when I try to eject the disk, my pc won't do that either! And going into "my computer to try to eject it from there just causes a whole world of pain; The pc freezes up. I try "end tasking" and then the end task program stops working, then a host of other things happen etc, etc.

    So basicly I can't install the game even, because all the above happens. Which SUCKS!

    My system spec is:
    *Intel Pentium 4, 3.6 ghz
    *Nvidia Geforce FX Go5200
    *Windows XP pro (service pack 1, whatever that means)
    *512 ram
    *Disk drive: Phillips DVD+RW SDVD6004
    Any thing else you might need on my spec, just ask + tell me how to find it out as I'm not very good at doing that.

    So, I REALLY would like to install ToB. You're help is much needed. Thank you kindly.

    [​IMG] Have the other computers you've tried it on got DVD drives or normal CD drives?

    I know one of my games doesn't work in DVD drives - I'm trying to remember if it's ToB. I think it might be - but try it on another DVD drive to make sure.
