I cannot play this anymore. The splash screen asks me to insert a XIII Disc - I tried all 4 - no luck. I even put one disc in each drive (I only have two drives) but still got nowhere.
So I decided to uninstall and start afresh. Now I can't Install the damn thing!
I get to disc 2 and the installation fails due to 'cyclic redundancy check' or something like that. I have come across that in the past and I can't remember if I managed to find a solution.
Is the disc knackered? Is it one or (gulp) both of my drives? Or is it that stupid protection device I've heard of, where it won't work if you have more than one optical drive in your machine?
Please help! If it's the disc(s), I'll have to go return it quick.

Exchange the discs.
I don't think it's the discs, but I haven't got anymore ideas. Um Cyclic Redundancy Check is also known as CRC but I don't really know what it does. Some way of checking data's all as it should be... or something.
'Or something' was probably more accurate.
