Duh, we're supposed to guess! Don't you know that by now? Do you really expect him to give any useful information at all? That wouldn't be the way of the forums!

It loads the autoplay menu and then when I click install I get nothing. It then stops responding.

My advice would be to hold shift as you put the CD in (to temporarily disable Autoplay), then go to Start-->Run and type x:\setup [enter] (x is your CD drive letter)

Dude, quit trying to use ISO's you downloaded and go buy the real game.

Thanks for the reply. I just restarted and went into safe mode and installed them that way. DOH! I do not know why I did not think of that before.

For your info Brainiac they are the original store bought versions not iso burned crap.

I dont do iso crap.

With a rig like this you actually think I would not spring for the real deal?

Your computer specs have nothing to do with the likelihood of you using real games or not. You need to realize many threads we get, exactly like this one, are due to people trying to run wared or cracked games. You just have to make it clear from the beginning, it's the real retail CD.

Thanks for pointing that out ... you'd think "with a rig like that" you wouldn't have problems installing a fuckin game... simmer down teapot.

I found out that my Antec TP 550 was the culprit. It was manufactured poorly and was not properly powering my optical drives. Bought the Enermax 651 550watt and have not had a problem since.
