hey there, No it isn't an auto play problem. see the game starts without any disks, but when you click "start new game" to begin actually play, the game asks for disk one. But it won't recognise disk one. I am wondering if the fact that my computer has two hard drives (C+D) and two rom drives (E is the dvd player/burner while F is the CD player/burner) Could the game not automatically be searching for the right drive? my old computer only had one cd drive and it was drive E. I'm at a loss and so upset that I can't play this game. Is there any web sites which hold patches for these games????
