DAEMON is the way to go, but their program needed funding, so they made teh bad decision of including MySearch (spyware/malware) and SearchBar in their application. Thats a shame. Try downloading version 3.47 from somewhere. Thats the latest one without the crappy spyware.

But this may be a CD-ROM power issue. Toshiba Power Saver usually has the option to slow the CD-Drive to save power. Are you running this game on the battery or on AC Power? If on teh battery, use Fn-F2 to switch power profiles. Select the "High Power" profile and try again. Keep us posted!
