I'm having the same problem. Win7 says it may be a driver error. I've uninstalled the DVD and let Win7 rediscover it with the same results. Does anyone have any ideas on how to proceed?

Please start your own thread and give a lot of information about your computer, OS and problem.

Have you let Windows 7 do a trouble shooting test?

Please do not use the windows Vista. It's big crap. It's too slow and Lots of problem in the operating system. You can use the windows 7 or windows XP. I like the most operating system is windows XP.

Well, some people don't have a choice of Vista or 7, maybe they can't afford an upgrade.

Have you tried searching online for a new driver? uninstall the old one, and search online for the brand of cd drive you use, and download the appropriate driver. Worked for me.

Aren't you lucky. There was a time when this was a huge problem as there were many different drivers for CD ROMs.

What I usually do is find the errors and basically delete it also. There may be an error the next time you boot, but if you had the installer, it wont be much of a problem.

Nothing to do with luck. It has to do with being a youngster:)
You probably don't know about dip switches, DOS 1.0, Windows 3.1 or Fortran, either.
Most of all, this kind of comment, "What a waste of post" is uncharitable and adds nothing useful to the discussion.
We're here to help the newbie, not to make them feel badly.
