Talonsoft World in Flames and Window 8

[H.v.F.]

Hello Friends
this is what a mate is suffering, and at half of The longest day (grrrr)

"Now,I can get the game to load by loading the wf program and then checking the 'play wf'' at the end of downloading....Once I close the game and try to return to the battle the game will not load..no 'Do you want the play wf?' will come to the screen or by tapping the wf disc in my computer doesn't work either..the same result if I eject the disc and slide it back in."

Maybe ruined disc ? I think no. Maybe strange working of Window 8 ?
How can it work the first time and no more times after that ? Even after reinstalling the game ?
Help please
H.v.F.
