NetAngel: If you read my post, you'd see that I do NOT own the game yet. I had friends who tried all kinds of "solutions", so that made me wait with my purchase. And as far as I read until now, the available solutions do not work for everybody. For some they work, for others not. And it's still easier to insert the DVD than to unplug IDE-cables or disable them in system manger.

You ar right sorry for that

Well, I'm really sorry to annoy you but your test proves nothing at all.

You have Panda Antivirus. Okay. It seems to mess with games so you need to exit it before launching games. Okay. Without an antivirus software running, you're afraid to be online so you disconnect. Okay. However, have you tried:
- unplugging the Ethernet cable from your PC (disconnect by hardware rather than by software);
- exiting Panda Antivirus but staying connected (you probably won't get infected during that half a minute when you try launching a game);
- running other antivirus software (you mentioned Norton Antivirus)?

So, I still believe you haven't answered my question (completely). You see, I'm trying to collect facts into the FAQ but I can't add the information you provided because they're only assumptions (or downright misinformation?), without deeper testing or confirmation from other people...

Hi there,
1, you are right you dont have to dissable any network connection.(sorry for that but i didn`t know that before)
2, yes i must unload panda (i guess that this proggy cant work with sf protections)
3, no i don`t have another antivirus program running, i assumed that norton and panda had the same kernel running.

£0, I test Norton every year since 2003 builds, I refused to use before 2002 builds as it was bad for taking over pc.

I test builds before public beta and during and i mess up my partition many times due to this, i then get free copy of all 3 Symantic major programs on the agreement i supply norton to all my customers ( I build/fix PC's)
