For some reason, my game crashes (or, more specifically, freezes, with the music still playing in the background) when I try to enter the Missile Base on Disc 2. I have tried a friend's copy of the game to see if it was a problem with the disc, and I am able to get a little farther (but not much). With his disc, Selphie & crew are able to drive through the gate of the base, and then the game suddenly crashes.
I have tried several times, and I always get the same results with both copies of Disc 2 (these are authentic copies of the game and not burned ones). I have also tried the discs on my laptop, and I get the exact same errors. I find it hard to believe that both copies could crash at almost the exact same point on two different computers (with two different versions of Windows at that), but I also find it hard to believe that both discs could be corrupt at that same point in the game.
Any ideas?
P.S. Here are some of my computer's specs
