Rise of Nations won't even install on Windows 7 64-bit

[Blanchflower]

OK, my OS is Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium edition. When I insert my Rise of Nation disc (By Ubisoft exclusive), the game won't even install. My DVD drive shows no disc being inserted despite inserting the disc.

Please help! Other games with discs work fine.

Then something is wrong with the disk, or your drive. Doesn't have anything to do with windows 7

Well there is nothing wrong with my drive as my other games with discs work fine. Also, there are no scratches on the disc.

Can you try the DVD in another computer? Another thing that might be happening is that you need to upgrade the BIOS of your DVD player from the manufacturers website.

How do I upgrade the BIOS of my DVD player? Also, I have only one laptop at home.

By the way, I went into the device manager and this is the model of my DVD player: Optiarc DVD RW AD_75835. I tried updating the drivers but it says that the drivers are up to date.

In Device manager, under DVD/CD-ROM drives you can see your DVD drive's model number (e.g. mine is GH22N550). You then Google "GH22N550 dvd firmware" where you put your own drive model in instead of the GH22N550. Must follow the instructions carefully as there is always risk involved with flashing firmware.
