I have successfully installed PS7 upgrade on my Win98SE machine and have been using it for some time. I am now trying to install it on my Win2000 laptop [I am allowed to do that] and I am having problems.

The install starts OK and I enter the serial number etc. It asks for the old version media, which is fine. Then it prompts for the return of the install CD. When I insert that and click Next, it just hangs with the CD spinning continuously. I cannot abort the install unless I pop the CD.

Any ideas? TIA

Then I thought I’d uninstall PS4. Then PS7 wouldn’t start, giving an error about missing personalisation data. I needed to install PS4 and PS7 again. I seem to be OK now.

Now to apply the 7.0.1 patch …
