I installed PCM 08 again for some days ago, after a little break. And when I press start, its checking disc, and then I get an error message saying I must insert a valid disc. I bought the game right after it came out, and it has worked before..

Only thing since last time I played it, I have a new and better laptop. But that shouldnt be a problem?
Anyone?

Miss playing PCM Sad

Something similar to your problem was solved by updating the StarForce driver:
1. Open My Computer or Computer.
2. Open (C:) Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files or Programs folder.
4. Open Cyanide folder then Pro Cycling Manager - Season 2008 folder.
5. Run PCM-Protection.exe application file.
6. Check 'Download and install driver update' and click Next.
7. Click Yes.
8. Click OK.
9. Insert the PCM2008 DVD and start the game.

Did you try doing what it says?
"Deactivate emulation software and try again"

E.g. Daemon Tools, Alcohol 120%.

What about CD burning software? Nero Burning Rom?
Did you disable your firewalls?

And if it still doesn't work:
Run PCM2008 without inserting the game disc in your DVD drive.
If you get a message from the protection, please click 'Information' then 'View report' button.
Save and send the error report file to
