Anyway, if you're running Vista, right-click on the game's desktop icon (assuming you have a desktop icon), select "Properties" and "Run as Administrator"; same with the OS compatibility mode. However, if you're running XP, you won't see these features.

I included the first and the third procedures in particular, because they worked for me with a few of my older games when I experienced the same "insert correct CD/DVD" error with Vista. I did not experience this error while running these same games on my older XP machine.

What's odd is the fact that one of my games, which was designed to run specifically with XP, gave me the "Insert the Correct CD/DVD" error while using the XP SP2 compatibility mode. However, when I switched to running the game with Vista, it started and ran just fine - go figure. I'll never rely on intuition again.
