    Weird CD-ROM reader.

    I have a 3-Disked installation software of a game. but the problem is that the third Disk of the installation don't get noticed by the computer, while the window of "please insert disk 3" pops up, I've inserted the CD or whatever in. And after I press OK, the notice don't vanish even though I can read the files on that WhateverDisk.

    The links are broken, or that it's a DVD.

    P.S. My computer can't handle DVDs,
    P.P.S Dvds can't be installation stuff, can they be?

    DVDs can hold anything you want them to, including installation files...

    Chances are it's not a DVD though, it doesn't make sense to have 2xCD and 1xDVD to install one program.

    Try installing the software on another machine to see if the disc is faulty...

    does it give you an option to find the file.

    Sometimes i copy a whole CD to the HDD to setup a game, i can't stand getting CD-Check erros during install.

    no.. It didn't, the progress bar goes up to 78% at the end of Disk 2, and then the thing pops up, it just says Ok and Cancel, and so If I click OK with the Disk3 in, the system just repops up the same window. AGAIN!

    sounds like a defective cd.
    i would do exactly what mr malee said, copy the contents of the cd(s) to your HD and install from there.
    have a good look at the cd as well, it may just be a bit of dirt on it.

    I can't install from there dude, it's a automatic installation. You see it just gives me one opinion that makes it impossible to run otherwise.
