ME Problems?

Well it seems this is not just an ME problem

I'm having the same problems as Gregebowman with my 98 system with both CD drives! No matter how many times I reinstall or change the drive nothing else happens. (Just to note Autoplay is off)

So does anybody have any ideas how to solve this or get around it. Please post if you have had the same problem and solved it (or even not

). Hopefully this will be fixed in the patch if it is to difficult to get around.

I can only guess. Do you have a music folder on the hd? Is there one on the CD. Maybe SF tries to play music but cannot for some strange reason. The beta Version has a dedicated music folder on the hd and does not require any CD.

Maybe that could be true, but since I can't get past the install screen, I don't know. Maybe if I got past that point and I was having difficulties, I would think about the music folder. My music folder is part of my Morpheus program, so I think it's called My shared folder, or something like that (I'm at work, so I can't check). Plus, it's making that loud noise, like it's a vacuum cleaner or something like that. Hopefully when I get home and check my e-mail, there'll be something from the support tech people with a possible solution to my problem. If there is and it works, I'll pass it on.

Could be a bad batch of disks...

That's what the e-mail I received suggested. But they're still trying to figure it out and will get back to me later. Now I have to download that demo to make sure it does work on my system. Too bad the demo couldn't have been on the disc.
