i just picked up a copy of battlefront 2 today, so i brought it home and it installed alright. then when i try to start it up it says "please insert the original disc instead of a backup"..... i dont know what to do!! please help!!

Try running the game in Windows 2000 combatility mode (assuming you are not in Windows 2000). Turn off any virtual drives you may have. Make sure the cd has not big scratches and is clean.

how do i run the game in windows 2000 mode? and how do i turn off virtual drives? im kinda clueless.

meh, just found out that the DVD version doesnt work =(

1) right-click on the game shortcut
2) select 'Properties' and click the 'Compatibility' tab
3) Check "run this program in compatibilty mode for: and select windows 2000
4) click apply and ok
5) run game

If you don't have a compatibility tab, search some place like www.google.com) for: enabling compatibility mode for windows XP

If you don't know how to turn off virtual drives, then you don't have any, thus you don't need to turm them off.

Why does "the DVD version doesn't work"? Where did you hear this?

still didnt work =(

some of my friends got the DVD version and it says the same for them.
im just gonna take this version back and get the 5 disc one.

Ok. I have the DVD version and it works except for two very small errors, which I've posted about (though no one has answered...). Good luck with the cd version.
