i know im frustrated, bu tthe thing is i want play..
and so when i get mystical error that prevents me from playig im going to be really pissed of... (poor computer of mine)
but to the point
ive searched thru dozen of forums and tried various tricks, i can get the cd out and in and it gets automatically mounted/unmounted but yet that (infernal) installer of simcity 4 doesnt accept when i try to click ok... to accept the disk chage.... argh!!
so if anyone could say/tell/give me the link that would solve the problem
oh and i dont accept reinstalling kubuntu (hoary 5.04) as an solution
though none of you is going to suggest that anyway (just to be ure)
ps i know someone of you will think "why doesnt he just buy licence?" but i need credit card for that and i dont have one and i cant get one (in here Finnland its darn hard to get one) so thats it (i could easily spend 15 euro to make my games work like dreams but no

this thread is transforming into my problem box..
but yet i starting to be little confused about this..
how come. i can ejetct the first, insert the second and see it mount.. creates an icon to desctop in kubuntu, but yet clicking installer ok does nothing...
id like to know how to debug this problem to see whats going on, and what can i do for it
allthough some may say that if the game is not native i should not play it as it supports windows... yet i cant buy that many linux games in here....
so can it truly be that i cant use my computer to anything non creativa aka playing (no those native free games arent enough, the quality isnt just the same and thats what matters)
yet again my cry for help
