safedisc 2.90!!

[Lennier]

It would seem the new Sims Superstar expansion is also using Safedisc 2.90. It would not load, even with the original CD in the drive, under Windows 2000. I didn't see this forum before or I would have tried un-installing Alcohol 120. But what's interesting to note is, after I upgraded the machine to Windows XP, it will play fine now, even with Alcohol installed.

I was able to make a 1:1 backup using Alcohol and it played fine from the backup copy.

Blacklisting by these companies is complete BS!! It's bad enough that MicroShaft is taking inventory of what's installed on my machine, but not letting me play a game just because I have some other software installed is going too far. Maybe we should talk to the EFF about filing a class action suit against Macrovision for this type of crap so it doesn't go unchecked.
