PS Is the Clone CD tray at the bottom right of the screen?
It will have to be ticked every time on every PC (if you play it in a burner).

Explanation: All CD-R's contain something called an ATIP which contains info on length, manufacturer, dye colour. Pressed (original cd's) don't have this. So the newer games check for an ATIP and if it is present it won't let you play.
The snag for this protection for the developers is that only mainly cd-writers can read ATIP's - most CD-ROM's can't read so it can't check for it.

You can play the game in a CD-ROM or play with Hide CD-R Media ticked in a burner.

Yes the Clone CD Tray is on the bottom right of your screen
