G'day WolVerine,

Well if it installs from the backup - but "hangs" when you try to start the game - it is very clear that the backup you made is not a true 1:1 copy. i.e. the Safedisc protection has established that your not using the original disc.

3 Things I can think of here :

1. My backup copy works in my DVD player but not the writer I
backed it up in. So, maybe try a different CD Rom other than
the writer.
No other CD Roms you say ... ? Then, ( & presuming you have
clone CD installed) right click the Sys. Tray icon &
ensure "Hide CDR Media" is ticked. Then start the game
again. With this ticked it hides that your using a CDR disc.

2. If it installs okay - then why use the CD.Simply DOWNLOAD the correct Crack / Fix then you wont need the CD to play the game.

3. Try the Backup with Clone CD using the Protected PC Game
icon. Entrusting you haven't simply Copy/Pasted the image to
the Harddrive & then burned to the disc. Cause that will NOT
make a 1:1 copy (well not for Safedisc anyways). CloneCD
will automatically read the disc & when the write option
comes up - select (my preference) max. 8x record.

The moral of the story - Go For point 2........ easier ..........

eheh.... took a bit longer to type mine up (Rince got in first... but yes my comments have been confirmed by Rincewinds as well.......
