Baldur's Gate Help

Post » Fri Feb 10, 2017 5:42 pm

OS: Windows 8
Game: Baldur's Gate
I just received a new copy of Baldur's Gate 4-in-1 Box Set in the mail and popped in the first disk (labeled Baldur's Gate with nothing else under it) into the DVD rom of my computer.

After nothing showed up, I tried going into the "This PC" folder and double-clicking the DVD Drive (DVD RW Drive (D:)).
Still nothing.

Opened up Run program and typing in "D:/autorun".
A window pops up saying "Please insert a disk into DVD RW Drive (D:/)".
Open the Drive, push the disk back in, try again.

A little box pop's up displaying an Install, view readme, exit, and view demos buttons.

Click the install button.
Box disappears.
Nothing happens.

Okay, maybe something didn't go through.
Open the DVD drive.
Click the install button.
Box disappears.
Nothing happens.

Okay, no problem, maybe the Readme has something.
Open the DVD drive.
Click the View Readme button.
A window pops up that says "Cannot open file D:\Readme.txt."

The easiest fix I can think for this is to restart my computer and hope that works.

Okay, computer restarted. Let's try this again.

Put in disc.
Nothing happens.

Open This PC.
Open DVD RW Drive (D:).
Window pops up.
"Insert a disc
Please insert a disc into drive D:"
Open the drive, make sure the disc is okay, put the disc back in, close the drive.
Something seems to start loading...very slowly.

This could take a while.
