Well it's seams very odd to me... EA games usesully don't use that time of protection. And is often not bundle in to SafeDisc protection ether.

In your computer.... can be that (often EA games do, and right me if I'm wrong). My guess is that the orignal CD dosen't work in the CD-RW driver ether, becuase you install it from the DVD-driver... might have lether...lett say "Y:" and CD-RW driver have "k:" in the regedit, often EA are writting where the game is installed from what CD-driver. Anyway... that's theory dosen't hold when you got a laptop.

It can also be a bad copy of the CD. Becuase most DVD-players are often bether reader of the CD-rom and old/cheap CD-RW/CD-R drivers are. (don't tell me why). I have also the same problem with backup of Heroes 3. Did work at my DVD-driver. But you have also a DVD-driver in your laptop...and that's blew that theory.... it can also be a bug. SafeDisc bug... that's dosen't realy reject on your dvd-player at you computer.

I whant to ask you one thing.

What driver did you use to read the original CD when you created the image?

If you using alcohol, dose it says of any kind of all that your driver dosen't supoert 1:1 copy? try both DVD and CD-RW driver.
(first you select the profile, hit next, then you see much of setting and stuff. There it's should indicate if you driver support 1:1 copy. if you hit next again it's start to read the image)

Dose it of anykind says that your CD-RW driver dosen't support to BURN 1:1 copy.
(first you select the the image, hit next, then you see much of setting and stuff. There it's should indicate if you driver support 1:1 copy and you can shoose profile. if you hit next again it's start to burn the image)

Please do this...you driver might not suport 1:1 copy (trie with your original CD in the drivers)
