When you try to start one of the programs that are listed in the "Applies to" section, you may experience one of the following symptoms when the "Loading" message or the "Please wait while the program name CD is verified" message appears on the screen:
Note This issue occurs on computers that are running Microsoft Windows XP Home and Microsoft Windows XP Professional. When the issue occurs on a Windows XP Professional-based computer, it does not occur because of "fast user switching" but the issue may occur because of one of the other conditions listed earlier.
Clean the CD or DVD. To do this, use a disc cleaning kit. Or, gently wipe the silver side of the disc with a soft, lint-free cotton cloth. Do not use paper cloth. Paper cloth can scratch the plastic and leave streaks. When you clean the disc, wipe from the center of the disc outward. Do not use a circular motion. If the issue continues to occur, clean the disc by using a damp cloth or a commercial CD or DVD cleaning solution. Dry the disc thoroughly before you insert it in the drive. If the issue continues to occur, go to the next method.
Microsoft Mech Warrior 4: Inner Sphere Mech Pak:
If you are trying to play Mech Warrior 4: Inner Sphere Mech Pak, insert Mech Warrior Vengeance 4 (disk 1) or Black Knight before you start the game.
This will display all the hidden files on the disc. If there is a file that is named "SSIFSDAT.SYS" present, you do not need these updates installed for the game you are using. However, the installation of these updates may benefit other games.
The folder under the game name should have a number. For example, 01, 02, 03, or eula.
Note what you see next to FIRSTRUN in the right pane. If you see the number 0x00000001, you have accepted the Microsoft Software license Terms and this is not the issue. If you see the number 0x00000000 where the last number is zero, the CD drive has problems verifying the game disc.
To resolve this issue, use the following methods in the order that they appear in.
When you start Microsoft Windows, typically there are several programs that start automatically and run in the background that may interfere with the game. These programs may include antivirus and system utility programs. When you perform a clean boot procedure, you prevent these programs from starting automatically. You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure.
To restart the computer by using a clean boot procedure, follow these steps when you are using Windows XP.
Note You may experience a temporary loss of some services functionality when you follow these steps. Restoring the settings restores the functionality, but may cause the return of the original error message or behavior.

If the issue continues to occur, go to the next method.
If this issue continues to occur, the CD drive may be unable to read the game CD correctly.
Try to install the game from a different CD or DVD drive on the same computer or a different computer. If the installation is successful and you can start the game in this test, the problem may be that the original CD or DVD drive cannot read the game disc.
A CD emulator creates virtual CD drives on the Windows systems. You can see them in the My Computer window or by using Microsoft Windows Explorer. Although virtual CD drives can resemble physical CD drives inside the operating system, there are some significant differences from a real CD or DVD drive. Instead of being a piece of physical hardware that you install on your computer, a CD emulator copies CDs as an image file onto your hard-disk.
Open My Computer and count the number of CDs, DVD, CDRWs drives. Count the number of CD drives that are physically installed on the computer. You can also expand the Device Manager window to view how many CD devices that you have installed.
To do this, follow these steps:
After you know how many drives you have in Device Manager, examine the computer and count how many CD drives you have on your computer by looking at your box.
Remember that there may be a door in the front of the computer that you have to open to see the installed physical drives. There may also be external drives that are attached through USB or SCSI. If there are more CD drives listed in My Computer than there are attached or installed on the computer, chances are that a virtual CD drive or a CD emulator are installed.
If you are using Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP, log off the computer, and then log on to the computer as a user who has Administrator rights.
If the issue continues to occur, go to the next method.
Double-click IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers, double-click Secondary IDE Channel, and then click the
Advanced Settings tab.
Note If you do not see the Advanced Settings tab, your computer probably has a SCSI drive. DMA transfer mode options are unavailable for SCSI drives.
The game may close, generate an error message, or stop responding during start or when you play the game if your computer is infected with the virus.
Important If you already have an antivirus program installed on the computer, update your antivirus program together with the latest signature files before you scan your computer for viruses. Most software companies that create antivirus programs release a new signature file each month. After you obtain the latest signature files, scan your computer. For help obtaining the antivirus signature files, contact the antivirus software manufacturer.
If you do not have antivirus software installed, view a list of antivirus software vendors. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Spyware is software that collects personal information without your knowledge or permission.

Because the Microsoft games that are listed in the "Applies to" section are copy-protected programs, you must insert the game CD in the CD drive to run the program.
This is also true if you copy the contents of the game CD to a hard disk, server, or other storage device and then install the game from this storage device.

I just tried POD on my 1998 gaming pc (pentium 2 + 3dfx in sli) and the setup doesn't allow me to install the 3Dfx version because I'm "missing" a 3Dfx card. I can only install the regular version or the regular version.
This game "detection" uses a very dumb method. If you have glide.dll and sst1init.dll in the %system% directory - then you have a 3dfx card.
So just create 2 empty files with these names, install then delete these 2 files.
Ubisoft is so Ubisoft.
And yes, the original POD uses glide 2.1.1 (glide.dll and sst1init.dll).
P.S. You can force install the 3dfx patch (21_3dfx.bin) if you run it twice. This will replace others .exes to the 3dfx one. Or ypu can use Pod Gold, it uses the standard method (_grSstQueryBoards).
P.S.S. Another game with this "detection" method: F1 Racing Simulation. Ubisoft related of course... And this case is worse - the game itself uses glide2x.dll but the installer wants glide.dll and sst1init.dll. *Censored*.
replace the glide2x.ovl and glide2x.dll files in the game directory with the ones in your voodoo 2 driver directory. The game comes with voodoo 1 glide files and those don't really work with a voodoo 2.
err ... there are no glide2x.ovl/glide2x.dll in the game directory. Only glide.dll and sst1init.dll (wich is strange since they are actually real files, and not the copy from the ones that I made in order to install the game with 3Dfx)
1) You MUST delete the glide.dll and sst1init.dll files from the POD installation since these files are intended for the original Voodoo card (not Voodoo2). You only need those files in order to install the 3dfx version or patch an existing 3dfx installation. Once you are done patching, remove glide.dll and sst1init.dll from the POD installation and the %system% folder (usually \Windows\System for most users) if you followed Gamecollector's advice above.
