GTR disk error....

Just got GTR from gogamer & installed it, when I try to run it I get a disk read error..... Tryed the obvious (uninstall, reinstall, etc.) Could I have a bad disk even though it installed the program?? I can't even find a support # to call..... Help!!! Hank

When it reports the error hit the "retry" button and enter the correct cd key #. I had the same problem and it was defaulting to the cd key # of the German version I had previously installed (no matter how thoroughly I uninstalled it).

On mine the CD key is the number inside the front cover of the manual. The key in the CD cover is for Multiplayer registration. "Hank Pauli" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:d1h7tm$ccl$0$[email hidden]...

Yeah some people have had some major problems with the Starforce protection. It refuses to run with many CD/DVD drives, bad move by atari or simbin IMO. Im all for stopping piracy but not at the expense of people who genuinly bought the game. My flat eventually gave up and took the game back after trying just about every solution on the net, help from atari and some of our own ideas. -- Im too young for this s**t!

In my international version 1.3, the key inside the cover is the CD key (and specifically states this is so), the multiplayer code is on a "credit card" inside the box. I'm guessing the other international (or at least UK ) releases are the same. Starforce doesn't like the OP's setup. Some arcane rituals might get GTR running, or it may never, ever work unless he bins his current drives and gets lucky with a new one. cheers John

I loaded it on another computer and its runs..... computer is an old dog though. Just bought an "open box" USB CD-RW drive & will try it on my new 'puter. Keeping my fingers crossed..... really want to play this game...... Hank "JM" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
