More Awesome Than You!

Alright, so here's my situation...my computer is conviced that the CD for Seasons, is not in the drive...despite the fact that it is and it autorun itself.  I thought it might have been one of the "group.cache" problems...but apparently it's not.  I can open the drive and see what's on the CD, but my computer is convinced that it's not there.  Anyone know what is going on?  Is it a problem with the disc itself?  Or is my computer acting up or what? ???

Restart the computer, then try to open the game with "Start/All programs/EA/TS2/Seasons, and not with the short cut on the desktop.

Edit:  I just received my copy of BV, and on the right upper side is written: 'PC DVD ROM - only DVD compatible'. Is your CD rom a DVD rom too?

Every EP from Pets onwards is only available on DVD in Europe.

Have you actually managed to install the disc?  In other words, have you only just got the disc, or have you been playing for some time without problems, and then the problem suddenly occurred?

ZZ, I have only Uni, NL and Glamour pack - no Pets, and no Seasons - so for me it's a new feature. :)

I have another (may be similar) problem: when I start BV through the short cut - my whole computer freezes; can't click even on Start/Shut down or Restart. I have to reset manually, restart the comp, and then play the game only from "All Programs". No big deal, but it sucks. :-\

gali, right click the shortcut, select properties, and check the target field.  It sounds like you're pointing to the wrong executable.  Adjust this to target the proper file, and you should stop the crashes.

Seasons will not run, and will return a "disc not found" error, if it detects any SCSI equipment on the computer. This includes any actual SCSI hardware devices as well as any virtual drives. Some examples of software that install virtual SCSI drives include NERO, CloneCD, Daemon tools, and many others. If this is the problem SD4hide will work with seasons, and YASU will work with BV, to hide these devices from the game.

Thanks, B,  it helped.  :-*

But there is another problem, which I didn't have until now.
Seems that each time I "touch" any item in my Downloads folder - i.e. deleting hacks or objects, adding hacks or objects -  I have to restart the computer, otherwise when I try to activate the application, the comp freezes.

Oh, well...I can live with it too.

I am not familiar with that issue.  Does the freeze occur immediately after trying to run the game, or does it happen when you try to enter a lot?

Immediately.

For instance, If delete or add some hack file, or some object file, from the Downloads folder, and  then I activate immediately the aplication - the application is not activated, and there is a complete freeze of the computer.

But, if I delete or add a hack file, and then restart the computer - no problem at all when activating the application.

So far, no problems at all in entering lots.
