Need For Speed: Carbon & Intel iMac 2.8 GHz

Hello All,

I just bought *Need For Speed: Carbon*. I thought I met the requirements, but some other forumes discuss the ATI card may not be enough for the game. The game gives me the error "Cannot locate the DVD-ROM", although it is clearly inserted. I followed the instructions exactly, installed it onto my iMac, and then typed in the CD Key provided on the booklet.

*My Apple iMac* from 2007 has 2.8 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo, with 2GB DDR2 SDRAM. 800MHz Bus Speed and L2 cache of 4 MB. I am using an _ATI Radeon HD2600_ graphics card. I am running Mac OSX 10.5.7.

*Need For Speed: Carbon's* requirements for the game are Mac OSX 10.4.9 or higher, 1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster, 512 MB RAM or more, 8x or faster DVD-ROM drive, 5.3 GB or more free space on HDD, and finally video cards Nvidia (7300 or better), *ATI (X1600 or better)* +Note: GMA950 integrated graphics adapter is not supported.+

Help!? I have all the required specifications. I don't understand why it isn't accepting the program and not booting at user prompt. Thanks in advance.
