I guess your computer doesn't like Techno music.
The only way is to destroy your PC!

Nothing to clean it of.
The disc is spotless.
Maybe its because Im Windows 7 and the game wasnt designed for it but then how would the original game work?

Wouldn't asking on the EA forums be more productive?

No! For we are ultimately the more wiser! And we will spend our days finding out how this problem of grave importance may be fixed!

Note: Is the disc genuine?

You have to finally decide, either you can claim to be a Windows 7 or a DVD drive, not all at once.

Copy the disk over to a folder on the desktop and install from there. If it can't copy it over, the disk is ****ed.

Well, I tried to manually unpack and throw it over to desktop but didnt work.
I think it's just an incompatibility with W7

I'd be greatful if somebody who possesses the disk would post a download link to the working TSData/Res/Sounds folder,
thanks

It's not because it's Windows 7. It works fine in Windows 7.

Yup. If it can't copy it over, it's the disk.
