Please help me: I installed EU2 but I cannot run it. I click on the desktop icon, and get the pointer/hourglass, but the program doesn't check the CD (it doesn't give me an error message if I have the wrong CD in the drive, and the CD read light never goes on) or load off the hard disk (to the extent that the HD light never goes on). After 10 seconds, the hourglass goes away and nothing happens. After a minute, I manually end the program from the close program (ctrl-alt-del) menu. I have tried with music set on and off, and uninstalling and re-installing, and I have updated Directx. Also, EU1 works great.
It sounds like a copy protection problem. Try removing or disabling any antivirus or firewall programs before starting the game. If no such programs are running then try disabling the DMA option of the cdrom\dvd drive found under the device manager under the drive settings tab.
It should be up and running after this.
