I'm trying to run Microsoft 3D Movie Maker on Windows XP. The
installation process goes fine, but when I run the game, it gives me
the following error: (Note: the message below is approximate, since I'm
running a French version of the software.)

"Oops! We're having trouble extracting data from a file. Try the
following solutions:
* Make sure that your disc is correctly inserted into the CD-ROM
drive.
* Your computer may not have enough memory. Return to Windows (by
pressing Ctrl+Esc) and close other applications.
* There may not be enough disk space on your computer. Return to
Windows (by pressing Ctrl+Esc) and move or delete unused files."

I definitely have enough memory and disk space to run 10-year-old
software, so I figure the trouble is with the CD-ROM. However, the
program doesn't even seem to spin up the disc, or try to read from the
drive, before getting the error. The process then eats all my CPU until
I kill it.

I've tried setting the Program Compatibility to Windows 95, and running
it in 256-colour mode. Doesn't help.

Does anyone have any hints?
