Alright, so I bought my sons two computers from a friend, both decent for the price I paid, however these computers have CD-ROM's, not DVD-ROM drives. There is no room to expand, but even if I could, I don't want to buy any more "stuff" if I don't have too. Both computers have Windows XP and the latest patch.
So my wife's computer is running Windows Vista. All of our computers on on the same network. I read an article about sharing a DVD drive over the network, so I enabled her drive for sharing and it worked! I could install the video game my son had been grilling me about on his computer! The catch? It would NOT play - it kept saying, "insert disc into drive". Humm, well the disc is in the drive it was installed with, but the game does not see it on the network, or if it does, perhaps it is an administrative issue?
Any ideas how to get this to work?
