Andretti Racing

Game keeps saying to insert the CD even though the disc is in the player. Why is the CD not being recognized to allow the game to start? The solutions at the tech support web page do not help.

I don't have the game, but there was a similar problem with "X Wing vs. Tie Fighter" until they patched it. If you had "Flexi-CD" running in your task bar "tray" it would not recognize the CD. So, if you've got any audio CD player utilities running, you might want to exit out of them before running the game... - Mike. ============================================ Mike Holthouse - Indianapolis, IN My new philosophy is to never explain my philosophies.

Actually, I think Flexi-CD is the culprit, not the game. I installed Flexi-CD, and whenever it was running, my computer wouldn't even recognize any non-audio disk as validly formatted. I had to close Flexi-CD whenever I wanted to use a data CD-ROM. Game manufacturers producing patches to work around poor (and unsupported) Microsoft tools doesn't sound like the way things should work.

Returned mine for this very reason! dkmedic >>Game keeps saying to insert the CD even though the disc is in the >>player. Why is the CD not being recognized to allow the game to start? >>The solutions at the tech support web page do not help.
