Try this.

Copy anything to do with DS and LOA out of the Documents folder and into a folder on your desktop, re-install the games but do not install them into the Programs Files folder or the Programs Files (x86) folder, they're known as Win 10 protected system folders and most problems can be avoided by not installing anything into those two folders.

What is SmarteSECURE copy protection.
This issue may occur if the game that you are starting has the SmarteSECURE copy protection schema built in to the CD-ROM. The game uses SmartSECURE copy protection to read information off of the disc. (I'm sure this is what is causing your error)

Install the games but before you do make sure you run them with administrator privileges, open the CD\DVD and navigate to the setup exe "RIGHT CLICK" it and select "Run as Administrator", make sure you also install the Directx files as the games need them and Win 10 doesn't have them.

Get the games latest patches, they should be available on this site.

If that doesn't work you'll need to get the DS and LOA cracked exe files which doesn't need the disks to always be inserted to play the game, make sure you get the correct one's to match up with the latest patches, I'm not going to give a link to those files as I'm not officially supporting this but I use them on my Win10 pro x64 machine and I have never had a problem with them.

Last thing to do is run the games, if they both work then exit the game and copy the new DS and LOA folders into a new folder somewhere as a safe backup, copy your old saves back into the Documents folder and overwrite your new DS and LOA folders and if you've done everything right your old games should work without any errors.

If this works you can send me millions of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for all my hard work.
