Game keeps saying to insert the CD even though the disc is in the
player. Why is the CD not being recognized to allow the game to start?
The solutions at the tech support web page do not help.

I don't have the game, but there was a similar problem with "X Wing
vs. Tie Fighter" until they patched it. If you had "Flexi-CD" running
in your task bar "tray" it would not recognize the CD. So, if you've
got any audio CD player utilities running, you might want to exit
out of them before running the game...

Actually, I think Flexi-CD is the culprit, not the game.  I installed
Flexi-CD, and whenever it was running, my computer wouldn't even recognize any
non-audio disk as validly formatted.  I had to close Flexi-CD whenever I
wanted to use a data CD-ROM.

Game manufacturers producing patches to work around poor (and unsupported)
Microsoft tools doesn't sound like the way things should work.
