I had trouble loading a DVD PC Game onto my computer last week.
It seems to struggle,and then when copying files it gave me a couple of error messages so I just gave up with it. I put it down to the fact I was using a new SSD drive and as faras I am aware the drive has no cash on it, but has not struggled with any other problem at all.
Tried to install iton my new PC today, New Sata drive, new DVD writer etc etc. Same message when copying file and very slowto install.
So my question is, is there any way of cleaning up the tiny little marks and scratces on the back of the DVD disk.
TIA. :y

Your local Gamestation will skim it for £1.99 buddy, clearing all scratches in the process.....

Just normal car polish. I use Auto Glym Resin Polish, because that's what i use for my car.
It takes a little time & even if the scratches are a little deep, the rough edges of the scratch can be smoothed out thus allowing the lazer to follow the groove & not jump so to speak.

I remember when cd's first arrived they said you could hit them with a hammer and it would not affect them. What a load of b0llocks that was :-?

Update.
Actually turnded the disk over to have a look and there were no marks on, gave a good rub (with the inside of a nice warm T-Shirt) and made it shine like brand new.
Installed 1st time no probs.
Looking forward to trying it on a huge monitor tomorrow, should be fun. :y

A tiny bit of T-Cut worked a treat on my Xbox game

All excellent advice. as mentioned it has installed and is working fine.
I only wanted to install it so I could set my PC up in the bedroom.
Am peed off that I hadnt gone to a dual core CPU sooner, have built a couple for other people and even aquired a quad core which is still sat in the room.
So have gone the whole hog.
46" screen, 1 Gig Radeon card with DVI and HDMI output, and from what it seems I must have put 4GB of ram in it as I am currently reporting 3.25.GB of ram in the system but only running 32 bit XP Pro.
OFF looks brilliant, especially the elbow posts. ::) ::)

I fully understand that,but dont actually have one as yet.
No big problem though, thought I had only installed 2GB, have annother 10 x 1gb sticks on the table (all different branded pairs) just in case these didnt suit the board I bought. Got an extra 1.25gb to use though,so it saves me changing it when I dual boot it with windows 7. :y
