Bloody hell, that was a long post, I don't know if I could be bothered with that workaround so here is one I tried. If like me you have more than one PC on your lan and want to play stick it in the drive and load the game, once the check has finished and the game has started the disk is not needed. Simply stick it in the second drive and play. I have 3 PC's on my net and this has so far worked without issue.
