HOGCAT Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 I have Metro Guide version 7. The CD loads fine on my lap tops (2 of them, one with Windows XP and the other one with Windows 98 SE) But my Dell desktop with Windows XP professional does not read the CD!!! I tried everything, but nothing works. The CD is new, and not a scratch on it. Any ideas????? Thanks for any help. Quote

You may want to make sure that you have a dvd drive on your pc. Quote

HOGCAT Posted March 3, 2006 Author Posted March 3, 2006 No, it plays music Cds no problem. Movies also. We have 2 Dell systems in our office. Both of them won't do nothing with the map disc. Quote
+Renegade Knight Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 If it's not an issue of trying to read a DVD in a CD drive then this is a fix that may work. Burn a copy of the disk on of the computers than can read the disk. Try the copy in the Dell. Quote

Something about the drive's tolerances for certain disk thicknesses. I've seen this work a few times. Quote
