      JAMES4870  I tried the hint below but was too dumb to get it to work, however, I did manage to achieve the same thing using text edit and all woprk fine now

      Just do a replace "DISC2" with "DISC1" in text edit and all should be ok  (Version 1.0u)

      GMI  Another way (little bit more complicated) to workaround this bug, is to use VIM

      and edit file ./Contents/MacOS/Cars (it's a binary file).

      Make a backup copy of this file.

      And Edit the original file.

      Search all occurences of DISC2 string and replace them by DISC1 string. Save the modified binary.

      And all is OK. It works find for me.

      No more need to creatre a symbolic link.  (Version 1.0u)

      ROSS68  I bought this game before Xmas for my son and experienced the same issue as most on my iMac. After a bit of digging, the following web site provides a solution...

      http://forum.hardmac.com/index.php?s=5cb01280f994f9e87c9ce82ba89302a5&showtopic=259&st=0&p=1286&#entry1286

      For those of you who are scratching your head at this point, this is what needs to be done ( I'm no OS X guru, but eventually got what I was after from Google.... )

      1) Load DVD

      2) Install game

      3) Run Intel patch

      4) Fire up Terminal ( you can find this in the applications folder under "Utilities" )

      5) At the Terminal command line type

      cd /Volumes

      then hit

      6) Still in Terminal type

      sudo ln -s DISC1 DISC2

      then hit

      7) Enter you OS X Administrator password and

      8) Go back to the icon for Cars and run the game

      It appears that you have to repeat steps 4 - 8 every time you need to play ( with DVD insterted ) - if there is anyone out there proficient in OS X

      UNIX and knows how to make this aliasing

      stick please let me know.

      Thanks go to the author of the forum mentioned above - "Cri-Cri" and friends "Grambo" and "MacBidouille"  (Version 1.0u)

      FIONA MUSGROVE  Christophe - I have long suspected that the Disney Cars game should have had 2 disks. Look at this review, which suggests the same:

      http://www.imgmagazine.com/reviews/view.php?ID=715&Page=2

      I am sure that my game pack only came with one disk - for installation. If there was a "game" disk - I didnt get it.  (Version 1.0u)
