Is this a Safedisc Issue or is it me?

[Dazzl]

First of all thank you in advance for your future and past support.

I have installed Divine Divinity on my machine with a Creative 52x and a Sony CRX 140E, installed fine but when launching the app only get the splash screen for a blip, then nothing, nada.

Thinking it was my CD drives/copyprotection I bought a new CDrom Drive today a LiteOn LTR 165H as well as a new burner LiteOn also LTR40125S. (CloneCD says it can read Safedisc2)

The same problem is occurring...so its not the cd drives. Then I installed DD on my Dell laptop which just barely meets the requirements and the game runs fine.

What gives? There must be some file/program etc that is on my gaming rig that causes DD (and the other titles) to not launch? If this is copyprotection is it possible that these 4 different drives couldn't handle it. Can anyone offer a suggestion as to what might be conflicting DD and how I might look for such a file/program? I have made sure that no programs are running in the background. Greater than 90% of system resources are available.

I have done some registry searching (not sure if I was right or complete) for anything relating to burner software.

I am so completely frustrated. I must find the answer or I may not be able to run any new games as this has happend with Neverwinter Nights and Morrowind as well. I had to get patches for those to work.

BTW: These are the original discs, not copies. I want to run the originals, though I want to be able to use my version of CCD to make working backups, but if they cant run the originals how can they make a working copy.

Again, thank you in advance for your kind assistance!!! Anything you might offer will be truly appreciated.
