Exception access violation- mydocuments/overture problem

[drelor]

OK so check this out. Do you need the cd in the drive to run it? As i said earlier, my only cd rom device is a dvd burner. When i double click on the punumbra symbol in "my computer" to start the auto run the drive light blinks and the window becomes " not responding" and eventually, well, nothing happens. Sometimes it takes me back the the install screen. The device seems to work with everything else. Could the EAV be because it can't read the piracy protection information when loading or do you not even need the cd in? Just an idea because i'm still lost.
Oh and i meant an old copy of the original demo from the website about 3-4 months back when i first dicovered the game.

Oh and the entire erroe message reads.
