LoTR: BFME Start Up problem

[Meiosis]

Sure, it's basically a feature that allows you to "browse" your empty DVD-RW drive and drag and drop files without loading the burning program.

I just finished talking to the EA Games tech guys and all they say now is that it's their cd copy protection reader that may not work if I dont have my drive firmware up to date, well I do have them up to date and neither drive wants to load the game. The installation works fine, no problems there, it's only when the game is about to load.

This is funny because I never had this problem before and the drives pick up all my other games just fine. BFME probably has a harder protection detection.

I think that either my drives have dusty lenses or there is some windows 2000 hotfix I dont have that I should have to make this work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help guys.

Aparently the solution was in one of the 30 critical updates for windows.
