using software without using the cd

[mondu5]

Ok, I see, one must be extremely accurate as far as explaining what the question is. I, however, went back and read the original question and again determined that it was well stated.
Perhaps when I get to know this forum better, I can be smartassed and grumpy as well, hee hee hee.

When you learn to speak English properly come back and try to rephrase your questions!! In your first post you ask:

play a game without installing the cd

In your second post you ask:

What I want is to have a program that allows me to install all the contents of the "game cd" so I don't have to install the cd to play the game

The correct word you are looking for here is 'Insert'! As you cant install a game so you dont have to install to play!! Sorry but from where I come from (a proper English speaking country) that doesnt make sense!!

Your first post and your second post contradict each other! Your first post says you dont want to install then in the second post you say you want to install but then not have to install to play!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Think before you type and you shall appear much wiser than you really are!

Grumpy, and you are, I admit, I stand corrected. Thank you for that insertion of edification.

Your Welcome.

I would like to add in a note that most kid games have a "playgame.exe" or "rungame.exe" that plays the game directly from the cd. If you come across games like this, then essentially all you need to do this explore the cd and copy it's whole contents into an empty folder on your hard drive. That way all you would need to do is either run the "playgame.exe"/"rungame.exe" or install and play.

This only applies to older kid games released in the 90s, I'm not familiar with how the newer ones work.
