This has been proven to be SafeDisk 4.60 and doesn’t want to play on my system. The original [patched to v1.01] keeps failing the DVD check saying it has detected emulation software. I contacted Activision and they said exactly what you would expect them to say - effectively “turn it off or uninstall”. Well I turned AnyDVD off and it made no difference, so its obviously objecting to something that is installed but not running I checked running tasks in task manager.
I have seen many posts that say you have to uninstall certain programs to make a certain game run, but in my personal experience I have always succeeded in running those reported games [well those I’d bought] without uninstalling, instead turning off the CD-Tray or disabling AnyDVD or something similar.
So my question; Has anyone got this to run with any of the following Software installed;
AnyDVD 5.9.4.1
CloneCD 4.3.1.9
Nero 5.5.10.56
IsoBuster 1.5
DiscJuggler [version unknown]
FireBurner 2.21
CloneDVD [latest]
Norton Internet Security 2005
Admittedly I could probably uninstall many of those pieces of software and not miss them as they don’t get used that much - but I don’t think that SafeDisk will be objecting to IsoBuster, DiscJuggler or FireBurner and the version of CloneCD I have didn’t come with the Clone VirtualDrive - and I never installed it from previous releases either.
I include NIS as it must inject some code into the OS around the network and disk access layers to perform its security functions, and I wonder if it is objecting to that…?
Any help appreciated.
