Im stumped: BBC CDs

[nunew33]

Dr A.

My PC is running windowsXP professional.

Both original games run perfectly.

Direct X is fully up to date. Although im a newbie to copying, im fairly pc literate so keep on top of driver issues, service patches and so forth.

Altho both wouldnt do a straight nero copy. To save CDs im doing all my testing on bob the builder (assuming once ive copied one Ill be able to copy the other).So far ive got through 6 CDs!!!

Ive managed so far without any problem backing up childrens software its only these 2 BBC ones Im having trouble with.

I can even install from the copies. They just wont run. (ie ive tried the copy from an original install and it wont work, ive then reinstalled from copy and it wont work, but the original will work with the install from the copy - if u get my meaning).

Ive now spent over 10 hours trying to do this (and I bet my nephews who will be providing me with an offsite backup storage facility wont appreciate the lengths I am going to).
