Hey +G,

While helping a buddy install LB2 on his WinXP system, the system would recognize his LB2 OEM CD and can be viewed via an explorer. But when trying to install, the install shield comes up and immediately goes away.

We tried a few things, including cleaning the CDROMs and insuring no previous install of LB2 was on his system. Still no luck.

Then we tried a different CDROM drive. That worked. What didnt work was the one that was a DVD double layer drive. So that means these newer drives may not be able to read these older CDROM based games due to format compatibility.

You might want to add that to your FAQ.

I agree, I ran into the same thing with a driving game for my son (Motocross Madness 2).

The CD drive read the game fine, but the DVD would choke on it.

I'll add a note on it under the "Install hangs part way through" section of the FAQ.
