This confuses me, I just installed Gangsters, a game I bought today, and when
I tryied to play it right after installing it, it gave me this message:

"Sorry..

Unable to initialize CD Player.
Please make sure that no other application is accessing the CD."

What does this mean?

Addendum:

Apparently, a company called Sold Out Software has created a patch for
Gangsters to run in XP:
http://www.sold-out.co.uk/soldout/ [...] sters.html

As the above would be an unsupported patch, if you choose to install it,
it's "at your own risk".

You're welcome :-)

How did you finally get the game working.........did you use Sold Out
Software's patch?
