So you are not only having problems with the wrong game starting, you are having problems with the wrong protection message??
The game is protected with Securom.

Does the game start properly when using the original discs to play?

Pardon for jumping in but it sounds like the .exe have been switched somehow but its showing a different icon in the case of bobs rdogs. Have you tried replacing the nocd again and take a look at the location of where properties for the game .exe.

I used to have a problem where when I started the autorun for certain games it used to start my ATI drivers installer instead!! And the problem wasnt limited to just one type of installer either.
The games did however install correctly if I just skipped the autorun and installed straight from the Setup.exe.
The problem turned out to be with my ATI card. I completely uninstalled the drivers, removed any entries from the registry and reinstalled.
Everything fixed.

Just something worth considering and its why I asked if you had an ATI card Bob.

Download the correct drivers for your card from the ATI site.

Then go to this page and scroll down to the Red Links (under the Software Installation title), choose which one applies to your card which is most likely 'Radeon'.
Then follow the guide to completely remove and reinstall the drivers.

bob_g after you uninstall your drivers from add/remove or from device manager I might suggest also using Driver Cleaner. It often catches leftover .dll's etc, laying around that can cause some conflicts on new installs.
