Question on No CD .exe for Max Payne.

[Gunshot]

Hey...i'm new to this kind of thing, so i don't know exacly what everything does...

i d/led the No CD .exe for Max Payne , but i don't actually have the game ( i'm planning on borrowing it from a friend , install it, and use the No CD thing to play it )...so i don't know if it actually works..

has anyone tried this yet? if so, is there any process i need to do besides getting rid of the actual .exe and replacing it w/ the new one?
