Sorry to drag this one back to the top, but my question doesn't merit a new topic:
Just bough a cheap copy of Far Cry, but it won't launch. Installed fine, but it just freezes at the spach screen.
Here's the good part: afterwards, my DVD drive is gone. It's not in My Computer, or the device manager, and only a restart brings it back. It's a generic 16X DVD, no writing abilities or authoring software. Basic Windows XP drivers dated 1/7/2001, but I don't know who made it so I can't get any more recent. I'm going to try Ubisoft, but they didn't help me last time I had a prob with one of thier titles.
Can I fix this, or do I need a new drive?
