I was finally able to get this game running. Turns out that Microsoft disabled the Windows service that allows for disc authentication since its vulnerable to attack. On affects disc versions of older games.

For official Microsoft workaround (not Win 10): https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3086255/ms15-097-description-of-the-security-update-for-the-graphics-component

For my fix, I created a batch file that enables the secdrive service ad-hoc so I keep the computer secure as much as possible.

I hope this helps someone else!
