I have scratched CD, can I get a replacement CD?

Hi, I bought Grand Prix when it first came out, but haven't got to play it much due to lack of time. I dropped the CD (okay, okay) and now its scratched and the game does not work in a certain section. Does anyone know where, how and if I can get a replacement CD from Microprose? Thanks, Michael

if you have it installed on your HD, than you can use NOCDROM.ZIP to play without CD-ROM in your drive. Good bye Gerhard

Try using car wax and polish the CD. Use single strokes starting from the middle moving towards the edge. Do NOT use concentric circling strokes and use only a little amount of wax and a very soft cloth. This works 90% of the time. Disclaimer: Do this at your own risk! S

I don't know about a replacement CD. However, you might try going to a good quality aquarium store and getting some polish for Acrylic aquariums. I have had great success polishing scratches out of CD's with a good acrylic polish.

I quess it's the only way for cableplay with 1 CD. -- ________________________________________________________________ / 02150 Espoo / / puh. 0400-810880 URL: http://www.hut.fi/~ppihlgre / /_______________________________________________________________/

I don't know about a replacement, but I use a good metal polish and a very fine cloth (spectacle cleaner cloth), and if you rub gently, you will gradually remove the scratches, and if any scratch remains, it should be highly polished. This is on the clear, unlabelled side. If the scratch is on the painted side, then the CD is scrap.
