yes, I amplified the weak sections, and I've a HP 9350i cd-writer. Someone has suggested I try Daemon manager, so I'll give that a go, altho it seems a bit complicated!! I thought I'd just run a copy off and it would work - its much more straight-forward with PS games!!! If you've got any idea's so that I can just put the cd in and run it, I'd be so pleased (and not pulling my hair out.....)
