Installed 4.09 - discs often not recognized.

[RobN]

I was running 4.08m perfectly on 1946 with no mods. Now I've installed 4.09 from...

http://www.mission4today.com/i...e=Downloads&get=3764 (top one)

...and the game won't always start. Only twice out of twenty attempts did the CD spin up. Almost always it just makes a few noises, and then nothing. Clicking the desktop icon results in a 'no disc inserted' error. I cannot explore the disc - I just get a blank window. When (if?) the game does start it runs perfectly well.

The bonus disc is also not recognized.

Other discs from other games are fine.

I've tried downloading and installing the 4.08 dlls (mg_snd.dll and mg_snd_sse.dll) with no difference.

I am not using the 4.09 skin pack.

I may try reinstalling 4.08 or reinstalling the whole damn thing.

Thanks for any help.
