I have the same problem - my DVD drive broke a week after I bought the game and I had to use my roommate's computer to burn the disk. Since his machine is circa 1998 (he isn't a gamer) I can't play on his computer.
Now that I have my disk on my harddrive I got the suggested applications.
I have Alcohol 120% latest version off their site.
I have Virtual CD hide
I have Anti Blaxx 1.17
I have Securom 7 Stop 1.0
I have Virtual Daemon v3.47.
Here is what I have done...
1. I uninstalled the old version but kept the save files.
2. I placed my dvd copy image into Alcohol 120% and reinstalled.
3. I turned on Anti Blaxx 1.77 and filled in locations of Daemon Tools and Alcohol in the top two lines. I have kept the Blindwrite empty and English is slected for my language. I have restore set to After 20 seconds and Method is Delete Entries (more dangerous). I have Protection set as Securom 7 and game is linked to eoa.exe in the Cyan folder. I kept the Mount Image empty.
4. After filling in the information at Anti-Blaxx I went to eoa.exe in the Cyan folder and turned compatibility to Windows 2000.
5. I then turned on Virtual CD hide
6. I then turned on Securom 7 Stop and then closed the program (as it suggests in the information to shut the program off before launching game).
7. I then click on Anti Blaxx and run game Myst as I called it.
What results is Anti Blaxx says OUT OF MEMORY Error 7 and shuts down.
If I run Anti Blaxx and launch the game WITHOUT Virtual CD hide - then I get ther error "A required security module can not be activated. This program can
not be executed".
Any ideas ? help? I really want to continue my save file.
