oooooooookay..just a hint to the dudes, remember to update your 3d card drivers

. i had been trying to get my backups to work from my bros comp as thats where i installed the burner. and after doing everything right didnt know why the cracks werent working

but it turns out he hadnt updated any of his Drivers since LAST CENTURY!! literally

i mean his direct X was dated 1999..so after razzing him calling him Vic 20, and Commadore64 for a while he updated them

and presto!
Global Ops worked Beeeeeeuuutaafully..havent tried Diciples2 but i figuring similar prob there..ok that was a D'oh! moment in my life..
