*in between sobs, tells my tragic tale*
I have ToB installed, and apparantly I have SoA, but i can't run it. It refuses to recognise disc two. Why?
Cheers.
DS

Ummm.... is the disc damaged in any way? Is the disk dirty? Is the lasers lense dirty? Is it a "copied" disc?

Do a full install, that is my tip. My CD 2 was damaged...but back then I didnt have enough Disk Space to do a full intall. Got a new machine and did it on there. A full install worked!

Why not just run the game off of the ToB CD? (I'm assuming that's what you did because you need disc 2; IIRC that's the one you need to play the game after a full install)

Once you have TOB installed, you will always run off the TOB disk, even in SOA areas.

Ah hah, it would seem that your issue has been resolved DS. Dry your eyes, insert the ToB disc, and enjoy

It doesn't work. I did a full instal, and until I put in ToB, the game worked properly. When ToB went in, SoA went out. A similar problem on a dfferent computer where ToB didn't work, but SoA did.
Firestormalpha: teh disc is a bit scartched, but that never stopped it working before. Is it copied? *shuffles* we aren't allowed to talk about that here. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

You use the TOB disk even when playing SOA.
If you disk is a copy (and I would recomened using a copy and keep your original somewhere safe), then try it with an original. Do you have a full install of TOB aswell? Possibly some of the files it needs to read off the CD for a minimum install are corrupted.
