Armed Assault DVD won't start

[shav4life 0]

hi, i think this is my first or second time posting here.

I have a problem with the UK arma dvd. it just wont start.

It starts from my mate's dvdrom which i borrowed but it wont work on mine, bear in mind tho my dvd-rom is not defective, it can play any other game or dvd that i have put on, it is also a dvd-rw. this is my system spec which i built afew weeks ago.

Custom built:

4600+ x2 dual core @2.4ghz

2gb pc5300 ram

7900gs 512mb gainrdward nvidia

250 hitachi hard drive 7200rpm

gigabyte sli 570 nforce mb

liteon shw-160p6s dvdr/rw

windows vista ultimate 32bit os

no softwares such as alcohol, deamon tools or anything of that sort installed, this is a clean install of windows vista.

wen i insert the dvd nothing happens, drive spins abit but says drive is empty, i right clikc on the drive icon in my computer and it says file system unkown in the properites section.

i think this is related to securom but any suggestion is welcomed. thanks

Make sure your dvd region is set to Europe. Some more info here

it is already region 2. i just changed it to another region and put it back to region 2 just for the sake of it, but still nothing.

i already have the latest firmware which is the one u sent, thanks for making the effort tho. i contacted them they are not replying, is taking them time, i think i will just buy a dvd-rom to use along with it, incase certain cds/dvds dont like this liteon.

I have the same problem. I also have a lite-on dvd/rw. Mine is the SHM-165H6S so I'm guessing its the drive manufacturer. DVD works fine on my other comp that uses an LG dvd/rw.
