Backing up some CD-Roms with SafeDisc

[Ryanrs]

Well, i dont know if this makes any difference but basically (with the cdrom with SD 3.15) i did the copy cd wizard, safedisc 2/3/4 in the datatype, had 'ignore media type' and 'RMPS -Recordable Media physical signature emulation' checked in the emulation section. I selected a very very slow read and write speed and i do always copy from the original disc. The copied cd will work to install the program, just like the SD v4.81 cd-rom copies do, but when trying to launch the program, it crashes at the splash screen. It does not crash tho if i insert the original cd-rom. The SD v4.81 discs dont crash but do flash up the 'remove and re-Insert cd-rom' error window.

Any ideas for this? I really do guess this company don't want anybody copying there stuff!!

I could send you the files to examine, there is only 1 dll file on the disc and that being 'DrvMgt.dll' which i believe is to do with SD? There is no Dll's in the install folder, just the launch program. All the program files are DXR adobe flash protected files. this is the same for all the CD-roms SD 3 and 4. So would you want just copies of the program EXE? or do you need the DrvMgt.dll off the CDs too?

What is your preferred method of file postage?

Thanks for all the help btw!
