Help mounting a game CD

[ICMike]

Am tracking down a problem.
I insert the CD then device notifier says there are 3 options. Download photos, copy or Open with file manager.
I choose Open with file manager, Dolphin comes up showing the path as "/media/AoE III Disc 1/". After a couple seconds the entire Dolphin window turns gray and then hangs. I must force/quit it. The CD eventually mounts (sometimes it takes some messing with) but I was wondering if I try mounting the CD from a command promt if it would show me any more details.

What would be the mount command?

Is it a Linux game on the CD, or Windows?

vinny@desktop:~$ sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /mnt/iso
[sudo] password for vinny:
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
vinny@desktop:~$ cd /mnt/iso
vinny@desktop:/mnt/iso$ ls

vinny@desktop:/mnt/iso$

this is given that your cd/DVD drive is on /dev/sr0

EDDIT: oops and that you have a DIR in /mnt caled /iso already

dolphin didn't hang for me though.........?

It is a Windows game (Age of Empires 3) that I run through PlayonLinux.

I don't know how to tell what /dev I am using but when the CD finally mounts, it shows up under "/media/AoE III Disc 1/".
