Had that problem too and it can have something to do with the drivers for
w98
if you managed in w95, BUT on the other side I think it's the CD station it
can't
handle those oversized CD's like GPL either because it's to old or is bad
quality.
For me I found out that Papyrus or Sierra had put some enormous sized files
in the
surface dir to really fill up the CD and in that way make it harder to do
pirate copies.
That's ok from their point of view but it's not at all funny for those who
can't even install
the game. I had bought the original CD and had a hard time to produce a CD
which
worked with my CD-drive. At last I found a solution to the problem but I
woun't explain
it here as it can lead to more pirate copies of this fantastic game.
To make it short I bought a new CD drive later and everything worked
perfectly well with the
original CD too.
Bye,
Hans-Otto
