COD4 CAnnot Read DVD?

What motherboard are you using? Others had this issue and it was fixed by updating the chipset drivers on the motherboard. (I did this as well and it fixed this issue and the multiplayer connecting to server one.)

hmm ok when looking at the driver downloads these are the options:

I am running XP 32bit do you have any idea which file i will need to fix the issue?

thanks will give it a go, I had expertools which is decoding and encoding video format software but not drive emulation.

I'd roll-back the drivers then and try the CD/DVD on someone elses computer to see if it works. If not, then contact Activision and see whats up.

I had the same problem as you. Mainly from games for windows that had the new SecuROM on them. Bioshock, Medal of Honor AirBorne, Hellgate and so on. These games worked eventually but my DVD still had problems reading them.

When COD4 arrived my DVD simply wouldnt read it at all. Basically in the end after BIOS updates, Firmware updates, driver updates I went out and baught a new DVD player and once installed all my games that had SecuROM ran instantly and beautifully.

In my previous DVD player ( GSA-530L ) regular DVDs and games worked but SecuROM ones hardly if at all worked.

My new DVD player ( GSA-62L ) Works fantastic with all types.

SecuROM claims to be compatible with all DVD players but I strongly disagree. I suggest going to SecuROM website and checking out their help suggestions and try going through the steps.
