If you're running windows 10, It wont run any older games unless they're cracked in some way, or in your case, You have Discovery intalled (For some odd reason it runs fine, Probably because It removes the disc from the equation!), anything related to the disc, won't work from what i've seen, its a bummer because I have hundreds of older games I can't play! (Unless I run a VM!)

You could get a virtual machine if you really wanted to, Like windows XP VM, or something (I miss XP!)

If you're not running windows 10, Then I'm not sure what It could be! - This is just a heads up in case you run into the problem again!

Yeah, I'm pretty much in the same boat with many of my older games.

I've read that it has something to do with the DRM system of anti-pirate software.

The solution is simple; you need to find NO-CD patches for any older game you want/need to play and then the game will work fine.

I have both NFS:Underground games (1&2) , along with Carbon and found NO-CD patches for them and they work perfectly.

Note that many NO-CD patches can be found on the game authors/makers web site or on various 'safe' gaming web sites.

Apart from that, this has been going on for quite some time now, there are many 'workarounds' out there to get a lot of the older games going, all you need to do is SEARCH!
