-------------------------------------------
Hello everyone, I have been looking around this board for quite awhile trying to see if anyone had the same problem as me. And have come up dry.

Well here it is;

I have the game installed fine and it loads up, although when I try to play it says please insert Disc 1. So I put it in and it says "ERROR: WRONG DISC" I bought this game brand new and just removed the wrapping not too long ago so I know its not damaged or dirty. Does anyone have any thoughts?

I have tried the NVIDA graphics fix, reinstalling the game, starting the game with disc 1 inserted.

I'm running on Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition, NVIDA GeForce 7900 GTX. (Incase someone needs that info.)

Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thank you.

Maybe it's just a faulty copy, or the disks have been mixed up somehow, have you tried starting the game with disk 2 3 or 4? Long shot but it might work.

I thought that too, and yes I did try the other discs just gives the same message. I am thankful for your help though.

I was wondering..I know theres a way to rip the file on a disc needed for the game to start, i'm pretty sure FFVIII doesn't load off the disc (hence the HD instalation) is there anyway I can get it to work without the discs?

try to copy your disk to hard drive mount it , disable your actual cd rom drive , then try to play it. worked for me.

Try going to www.gameburnworld.com or www.megagames.com and get a "No-CD Crack" They're only illegal if you don't own the disk.
