Title: Help with my computer
Post by: Chomper98 on December 10, 2014, 02:14:57 AM

Recently, I tried to load a game on my computer. It did not work, and I checked to make sure the disk was not scratched. It wasn't, so I checked the CD rom drive. It said there was no space left. How do I get more space? I tried deleting programs, trying to refresh, nothing worked.

Any help would be much appreciated.

What game was it? And what operating system do you have?

I tried multiple disks, including Jurassic Park Operation Genesis, Star Wars Empire at War, and Zoo Tycoon 2. None worked. Also, I have windows 8.

Have you tried running the programs in compatibility mode?  I have to do that for some of my older games in Windows 7.

I know how to run compatibility mode, though that's not the actual problem. When I put any disk in the computer, there isn't even any sign its even in there. The computer just doesn't read the disks. I tried the DVD drive, and it said there was no space left.

Maybe you need to buy another DVD drive for the computer.
