I used to play EA Sports FIFA 2001 when I had Windows 2000 and Windows XP.



Now I installed it on Windows 7 and keep the CD in the laptop.

But I got this error message "Please insert the correct CD-Rom, select OK and restart the application".



I don't know what causes this. But without fixing it I could not play the game.

  • I am not sure if it is compatibility issue. I just guessed that.

    Have you reviewed EA sports link? help.ea.com/article/cd-rom-troubleshooting. And just to be sure, this is the orriginal game disk? not a back up or some other copy?

    I have the original disk but I forgot the password so I can not use it. I got this backup disk and it gives me this error. I am going to read the link you gave me. Thanks

  • I just tried the original disk. It gives me the same error. Read Me section said about the graphic card in your computer should be compatible with Direct X. I checked that it is compatible with DirectX 11 that came with windows 7.
