Ok so I followed what you guys posted here. Strange there is no such thing as SafeDisc v4.8....2.8 maybe cause C&C generals uses that.
Anyway I used SecuROM New* settings wrote the image and mounted it on the AXV virtual drive. It worked fine.
When I went to burn the image to a CD-R I clicked on 'Rectify Sub-Channel Data' and burned the image.
At first when I ran the backup the 'Insert CD error' message would flash on and off as it was trying to read the data.
Hmmm....I went into Extra emulation options in Alcohol and checked the box 'Sub-Channel Fixed & Emulation' for SecuROM.
I tried it again and the backup worked perfectly. Unfortunately I don't think it will work on a system unless it has Alcohol installed because of the emulation for SecuROM.
Hell I'm happy at least I can play on my LAN now with 2 computers and not have to worry about downloading stupid
no-cd cracks everytime a new version comes out!
Thanks guys you were a LOT of help.
