Install Incomplete

I have The Sim City Box, which is Sim City 4 Deluxe Edition. I put the disk into the disk tray and the setup menu opens up normally, and when I click install the installation starts but always stops ...

    Here's the problem (and fix) I think.

    The small window that tells you to "Please insert disk 2" is hidden under the initial window (the one that shows progress). The problem seems to occur because that progess window refreshes itself regularly with a new example picture (from the game) and when doing so it also centers itself in the middle of your screen. The small "Please insert disk 2" window is also in the middle, but now under the other.

     

    Fix: Insert disk 2 and be ready to click on OK in the "Please insert disk 2" window, then move the progress window (grab the top of it) to one side to expose the "Please insert disk 2" and click the OK.

     

    The progerss window should quickly jump to 48.54% (I think that was the %) and continue the install. At install completion the game (on my system) automatically started and appears to be "self" compatable with my W8 at 1024x768.

     

    Hope this helps.
