Two possible casues (assuming your laser isn't shot and it shouldn't be) and you are sure that the DVD-R(s) work elsewhere

1 Clean the lens with a lens cleaning disk

2 Shorten your Messiah wires

The game i have on a Apple disk will not load at all
but one of the other games loads to a certain point then freezes
i will try the lens clean first.
you were also saying the wires could be too long why would this efferct this please explain

[charlie_ps2]

If wires are too long, then you can get the effect you are describinh. Erratic behaviour with DVD-Rs, for example. But you didn't answer the key question - do you know the DVD-R works elsewhere?
