I'm really stuck with this. Have read loads of posts yet not seen anything that applies.

Problem:

Just bought new laptop with Vista pre-installed, can install fm2008 without any problems.

When I go to start the game it comes up with a message along the lines of please insert the original disc, not a copy. It is the original disc. Have followed the instructions on the link from the error message. Have uninstalled then re-installed with no change.

really need some help with this

Have you downloaded and installed the update? If not do that first.

Have you tried turning off your firewall and/or anti virus protection?

sammik

Don't forget to (physically) disconnect your laptop from the internet if you turn off your firewall and AV!
