    So, one of my game CDs isn't working. So, I need a new one, but what should I do to get one? I am a starving student, so I can't buy a new game...

    If you were in USA you could send it back and ask for a replacement (it'd still cost you a bit). But since you aren't, your best bet is finding someone who has the game and a CD burner to make you a copy.

    Ok, how wacked is it?
    Is it scratched up?
    Just not loading/reading properly?
    A lot of times I thought my CD'S were wacked, but I've found that they're just super sensitive to any and everything. I mean are they dirty?, any finger prints or worse on the CD'S?
    Many a time a single finger print on a CD has stopped my CD from working correctly.
    I use soap and water, wash that baby up and some special CD cleaning paper and they're fine again. You may be thinking soap and water? but I swear it's fine and works wonders. Clean your CD'S, back up your saves and try a clean install. If that doesn't work sorry for wasting your time. Your CD'S really wacked. Oh was it like that on purchase or developed after time?
