Error "Unable to read data from "\DATA\...."

Hello,

I cant play Max Payne on my system:

AMD 2800+, Radeon 9800 Pro, Asus A7N8X (Nforce 2)
1 GB Ram, Audigy 2 ZS - WinXP home mit Sp 2

Software is the newest version (Windows, Ati, Creative, Nvidia)
Max Payne is updated to 1.05.

Only i can play Max Payne any minutes, the Error on Grafic with message

"Unable to read data from "\DATA\...."

Then I on the desktop. After a new start of the game i can play and on another place is always an error :

"Unable to read data from "\DATA\...."

What can I do????

I have an original version (germa Cover). I buyed it in the year 2001.

PS: For the Anti-XP people:

I have installed Windows 98 SE.
The games runs without grafik errors, but the sound makes a big problem. Any sound in the game are temporary not playing (Weapon). Then the game makes no fun.

Thanks for your help

first, nice system, alas, do to my economic patterns, i cannot afford something better than 256 RAM and a 64-bit card.
Anyway, as for your problem, I believe that your CD is most likely the file that it is trying to read is damaged, so just re-install. Now if you did do that already than it is most likely the CD- my friend that is damaged, which kinda sux dont it. Just buy a new one, max payne costs max 20 bucks nowadays. I really doubt it is your system, otherwise update your driver for ure grfx card. gud luck

I have found the error myself - The AR-Ramdrive.

I deinstall the ramdrive and then works Max Payne without error.

Sorry.
