XBox360 Backwards Compatibility
Ive downloaded and installed the latest backwards compatibility emulator from the MS website, which lists support for PGR2. This game, along with a couple of others which are also 'supported' are failing to play, with an 'unsupported' error message.
Is this usual, or a known issue and is there any way around it?

Ive got two copies of this game: an original and a Classic, which is new and unplayed. Other games that were added on the latest update will play (so I know that its installed properly), so Im at a loss to understand whats going wrong.

The machine is new, with a 175w PSU and a manufacturing date in August. The last update of the emulator/backwards compatibility application was November 2007.
PGR2 isnt the only game that wont play and I cant find why. COD2 and Fable LC play perfectly whilst Destroy All Humans and PGR2 both claim to be unsupported (which they arent, according to MS).

Ive ordered PGR4 from Play, but I dont know when itll come because it was out of stock. Sainsburys had GRID for £20 when I was in earlier, which was cheaper than Game were selling it for used! I didnt buy it because Im not familiar with it.
