Think the Cambrian 1 CD is done for, won't open on the XP system either, neither computer reads that a CD is installed. It's been sitting around for years so no real surprise. I have the route installed on my XP and on my flash card back-up of my entire MSTS collection and program.

Anything I needed from CDRom has long been burned to an ISO image. When I bought a copy of Severn Valley, I needed to buy a $20 external reader on Amazon, and that has managed to read some older disks I'd burned in 1999 and 2005 that wouldn't behave in an older unit.
Another thought is to try one of those CDRom polishers... or maybe there's a game shop that has a professional polisher for rehabbing older console games.If you like what you see here at Trainsim.com, be it the discussions and knowledge in the forums, or items available in our library, I hope you'll consider a paid membership to help support keeping the site operating.... Thanks!Comment

Good info Eric. That's why I gave up using CD back-ups and went to copying my entire MSTS folders onto a flash card, no more having to unzip, put pieces together, hope the CD works. Everything is already extracted and complete, ready to run. When I went over to OR, it was simply copy the files I wanted to use into the new OR folders and off to the rails.
