Joe,
I tried removing CloneCD - no change, I still get the CD/DVD emulation warning - but then again I do also have VirtualCD, Daemon Tools and Alcohol (plus various other CDRW tools) installed. I am loathe to remove them all in case I have problems re-installing - do we know to which apps the game specifically objects?
Last night I was going to try an LOtR:BfME installation on my second HDD under another (cloned) Win2k partition which sits alongside WinXP and then remove all of the CD/DVD apps from there. Unfortunately, that version of Win2k wouldn't boot - it looks like the registry hive is corrupted.
So it looks as though I'm going to have to re-think my setup and probably use an OS loader to keep the second Win2k (which is used as a testbed) and WinXP (also a testbed) completely independent.
I don't use copied games and I don't give them away but when publishing houses cause me so much grief, it makes me want to - just to get back at them.
Ken.
