ME Problems?

I have Windows ME, and even though the requirements don't mention that particular Version of Windows, I was told that it should work. Well, it isn't for me. I keep getting a CD-Rom error, and the computer tells me to put the game disk back in the cd-rom and restart the game. Well, first of all, the disk is in the computer already, and when I do open the tray and close it again, all the computer wants to do is re-install the game. Is anyone else with ME having a similar problem? Is there some sort of patch that can be made if it is a ME problem?

Sounds like a CD-Rom error not ME
Though it could be ME to think about it

If you have another CD-Drive then try that and if it still dont work then we know its ME

The game wants the Game CD to be inserted? Well, I only have the beta here but no MM game ever required the game CD IIRC. They start entirely from the hard disk. Try a fresh install of the game.

Is it one of those blue screen of deaths telling you to put the disk in?

It could also be that the game was reading music off the disc and windows complained for it since files were in use...

I imagine you've got the auto-insert nootification left on, and the disc appears to have the installer set to autorun.

Try ejecting the disc before starting Starfury.

I did that Last night. Deleted the game and installed it again. Came up with the same results. So I don't know if it's my cd-rom, or something to do with ME. I haven't had any problems with any other games using the cd-rom.

No, it wasn't the blue screen of death. The auto-insert probably was left on. How do I turn that off? And the only thing I didn't do was ejecting the disk before starting. I'll try that tonight. If anyone else has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.
