I 2 also tried everything... Mounting image from GCW still asks 4 cd... I used CloneCd latest version w/ protected game cd mode, and alcohol 120% using safedisk 2/3 at low speeds. It acts like it wants to run but I get windows error message saying pariah encountered problem and needs to close. I hate using original cd's. I have 2 kids 4 & 2 and they always seem to destroy everything... Somebody suggest something without all the warez bull? Thanx
