Solve : problem running games from DVD drive...?

1.	Solve : problem running games from DVD drive...?
Answer» hi all i'm a complete newbie here, any help would be much apreciated! i'm have trouble while running GAMES from my DVD drive but have no trouble running games from my HDD. That said tho the DVD drive seems to be working fine with everthing else (even installing games) like music cd's ect. i tried playing battle field 2 last night and it started normally, i had about five secs of gameplay then all the graphics textures went all wierd and i could still play for a while untill it froze. On the other hand tho i can play DOOM 3 off my harddrive on high graphics with no problems! it's doin my nut in! please can anyone shed some LIGHT? my set up... AMD athlon 3000 XP 64bit windows XP extreme motherboard (unsure if thats it's right name) 1gig of RAM 160gig ata HDD ATI radeon 9800 pro (with a new arctic cooler) sorry if this message is all over the place but i am pretty new to the whole computer thing lol :-/Quote sorry if this message is all over the place but i am pretty new to the whole computer thing lol :-/ YES, one post is enough. It gets confusing and is just rude to post the same question "all over the place". An optical drive is not as fast as a disc drive, hence the lag and eventually freezing. Just run from the hard drive as God (and Id) intended.With that Graphics card, Battlefield 2 settings will have to be set low. My guess is you have set them to high and the cards over heating. Battlefield 2 requires a good graphics card. I have a geforce 7800 gt and can run a few high setting and some medium. I used to have a geforce Fx 5900 and that wasnt even good enough to run the game on all medium settings.Frankie, Do you run it from a DVD drive? That was the major concern I believe, hough your points are good.
