Ok, so yesterday I bought The Witcher: Enhanced Edition and I installed it and played it for a little and it worked just fine. Today when I put the disc in, the AutoPlay comes up and I select the run button and it loads for like 5 sec but then nothing happens.

Does anyone know why I can't get the game to start up? It isn't a problem with my computer because I already played it once.

If you installed the game, try running it from a shortcut through your Start Menu, Games Explorer, or Desktop, supposing one is there.

I tried all of those and nothing works. The only way I can actually get it to run is by registering it which brings up a launch game button. But, I really don't want to have to register it each time I want to play.

Was looking around, and it's apparently a fairly common problem. People suggest

Awesome. I'll try all of that out and hopefully it works. Thanks for doing the research on the problem. :D
