Jimmy, Talonsoft also said my Samsung 612 CD drive would not play Max Payne BUT the same PC running Windows XP RC1 runs the game from the same CD drive with no problems.

And, I have no problems otherwise with this drive when running a wide variety of games. A full install of Max Payne under Windows Me displays only the Max Payne logo from the CD drive and then just sits there with no other activity.

After providing gobs of information to Talonsoft, I get the comment "612 does not play games" ... wow! what a lousy cop-out and cruddy support ... I am pretty sure that the game's attempt at stronger copy protection prevents this game from running on my CD drive ... but, Talonsoft will not even comment on this problem.

So, after much effort to get support, I had to fall back on "nocd" from Game Copy World to get Max Payne to run on my Windows Me PC system.

Thanks for comments, links, or suggestions for this "drive" problem.
