Under Windows 98 the game takes a long time to load CD, even in the middle of conversations. Half the time an error I get an error message telling me the disk isn't there or needs cleaning. Help.

Have you, in fact, cleaned your disc? Actually, it sounds like your CD-ROM drive may need cleaning. A cleaning CD for CD players and drives will set you back about $5 and is well worth the investment.

The discs look fine to me. The CD-ROM is only a few months old. The original wore out and I had to replace it.

Only this game has this problem. The drive is a Benq 56x max.

Question: You said "under Windows 98." Just to make sure, are you running Win98 or running WinXP and using compatibility mode or a Win98 emulator?
Assuming you are, in fact, using Win98, then my next guess is a bad install. Make backups of your saved games, then try an uninstall/reinstall of the game. Finally, move your saved games back into the appropriate spot.
Note: Certain types of installation glitches can also corrupt saved game files. First try an uninstall/reinstall and attempt to load one of your old saved games. If it still takes forever or hangs, then try starting a new game and do a save/load at the first available opportunity and see it THAT takes forever to load. If reinstalling the game makes your old saves hang but lets a new one work then you know it was an installation problem. If you try this and even the new saves hang during loading, then it is more likely either a hardware or driver problem.

I wonder if the drive's speed is creating a problem. You might try a CD speed slowdown utility like CD Bremse. I think Nero's CDSpeed utility also allows you to slow the speed of your drive, but I haven't tried that one. I've only used CDBremse. http://www.cdspeed2000.com/?link=cdspeed.html http://www.cd-bremse.de

I don't know the language CDBremse is written in.

It seems the problem with Titanic was a warning. I was playing Pandora Directive, and that same annoying message popped up but this time I couldn't get past it. The drive spins when I put a disk in it but all the programs I've tried act as if there is no disk in the drive. Doesn't matter if it's a data disk or audio disk.

Pandora was working fine until I went to the police station. Now, no CDs work. Nothing will load. Other games wont run and music CDs won't play. I tried to access a pandora disk with windows explorer and got "D:\ is not accessible.
The device is not ready."
This happened to me before. I had to replace the drive.
