Recently, I bought Zoo Tycoon 2: Ultimate Collection. I followed every step exactly right. Everything installed correctly, but the disk DRM is preventing me from running startup.exe.

What can I do? (if I can even do anything)

Are you SURE you are using Crossover games in order to do so?

Yes, I am using the latest version of Crossover games. All my other non- DRM games work, so it's not an issue with crossover.

Well, did you get an error saying "crossover can't find...."? If so, find the file for it. Or did the game freeze or not work after installing it when using crossover? Then use crossover games insted. If those don't work, or nether of them is your problem, then I don't know what else will work, sorry. D:

I'm installing Zoo Tycoon 2: Ultimate Collection with the latest version of Crossover. Everything is working fine until I need to insert the second disk. I press retry and nothing happens. What should I do?
