The disc spins in the drive and does nothing
Is the disc compatible with your drive?.
If your disc has a DVD logo on it and your disc drive has a CD-ROM logo on the front of it then the disc will not work. To run one of our DVD-ROMs you will require a DVD-ROM drive.
My drive is compatible with the disc but still does nothing
Is autorun setup on your computer?
Autorun may not be setup on your computer. Double click on 'My Computer', right click on the
disc icon, and left click 'auto-run/autoplay'. The disc interface will now
present itself. Users of Windows XP with
Service pack 2 maybe presented with additional prompts to run
the interface. Allow the content to be viewed.
My disc is physically marked or is damaged
Unfortunately a small percentage of discs
do get damaged during transit.
Please send the disc back to us for a replacement. If the disc is not damaged and won't run then please refer the top of this FAQ before sending it back to us.
Be
sure
to put a returns address in the package otherwise
we will be unable to send a disc back to you.
