Another Play Through

[leongt]

Decided to give the game another play through { For The 5th or 6th time } so tried to install from brand new Disks still in shrink wrap on my Windows 8.1 HDD and disk 1 kept on throwing up an error so tried to install the game on my windows 10 drive and it installed strait away without any problems.

Don't know what the problem with Win 8 is but it mite help somebody with the same problem.

Weird.
Maybe Windows 8 makes trouble with the copy protection?
Stuff like that happens sometimes.

Windows 8's security matrix is a hot mess, and its handling of DRM is even worse. That's why so many corporations wisely gave it a miss. Unless you're the local administrator on the machine and have a note from the Pope, you have to essentially hack your way into the OS to get anything installed properly.

Remember, this was a game built to install on Windows 98, 2000, and XP. Anything after that takes a fair bit of artful finagling.
