2, ‘resolution’);
Clean the CD or DVD. To do this, use a disc cleaning kit. Or, gently wipe the silver side of the disc with a soft, lint-free cotton cloth. Do not use paper cloth. Paper cloth can scratch the plastic and leave streaks. When you clean the disc, wipe from the center of the disc outward. Do not use a circular motion. If the issue continues to occur, clean the disc by using a damp cloth or a commercial CD or DVD cleaning solution. Dry the disc thoroughly before you insert it in the drive. If the issue continues to occur, go to the next method.

If the issue continues to occur, go to the next method..Method 4: Have you seen the Microsoft Software license Terms?
2, ‘resolution’);
After you have successfully installed the game, you should see the
Microsoft Software license Terms. The game is trying to verify the disc. This process is named “CD
verification”. This process typically occurs before you accept the Microsoft Software license Terms. If you have not seen the Microsoft Software license Terms after you install the game, the drive cannot bypass the CD verification process. The CD verification process makes sure that you are using a legitimate disc and not a copy. On some computers, CD drivers cannot bypass the CD verification process. Important Some games that are listed in the “Applies to” section have the Microsoft Software license Terms screen come up during installation. If you were able to
accept the Microsoft Software license Terms during installation but you are still experiencing the symptoms
that are described in the “Symptom” section, follow the directions in the article.
If you do not remember if you have seen the Microsoft Software license Terms, or if you do not want to remove and then reinstall the game, you can determine whether you have accepted the Microsoft Software license Terms. To do this, follow these steps:Click Start, point to Run, and then type regedit.Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER.Expand Software.Expand Microsoft, and then expand Microsoft Games.Expand the game folder, and then click the folder under the game folder one time.The folder under the game name should have a number. For example, 01, 02, 03, or eula.Note what you see next to FIRSTRUN in the right pane. If you see the number 0×00000001, you have accepted the Microsoft Software license Terms and this is not the issue. If you see the number 0×00000000 where the last number is zero, the CD drive has problems verifying the game disc.To resolve this issue, use the following methods in the order that they appear in..Method 5: Disable or change compatibility mode

click Properties.On the Compatibility tab, click to clear

2, ‘resolution’);
When you start Microsoft Windows, typically there are several
programs that start automatically and run in the background that may interfere
with the game. These programs may include antivirus and system utility
programs. When you perform a clean boot procedure, you prevent these programs from
starting automatically. You must be logged on as an administrator or a member
of the Administrators group to complete this procedure. If your computer is
connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from
completing this procedure. To restart the computer by using a clean
boot procedure, follow these steps when you are using Windows XP.Note You may experience a temporary loss of some services
functionality when you follow these steps. Restoring the settings restores the
functionality, but may cause the return of the original error message or
behavior.
