Prototype (PC) Refuses to Play

[SpikedDeception]

"Unable to authenticate original disc within time limit.
Try again?
Launch Analysis ///// Retry ///// Cancel"

I've been staring at this box for about a half an hour. After two days of trying to install Prototype to my PC, it finally goes through. What am I greeted with? This stupid thing.

Does anyone - ANYONE - know a way I can fix this? I just want to play this broken game in peace.

Before you ask, I've already ran it as Administrator, and yes, this is the retail copy of the game with the retail disc.

This is apparently buggy as hell on all systems.

I have to ask, do you have anything like an emulator on your computer, like Daemon Tools or MagicDisc?

Maybe the disc is fucked?

Maybe your disc drive is?

Man, nothing is more frustrating than a broken game.

Check around for a patch. I've heard lots of people having problems with this game on the PS3 and PC. Worst comes to worse you can try the PS3 fix (change harddrive space by 700mb).
