Why are you trying to run their backups ? Have you by any chance, read the board rules ?

no I meant whenever I make a copy it doesn't work on my computer but when my friends make a copy it works for them. I make at least one copy of my game because I usually lose of break the original.

Ok, your first post was not very clear... So, any backups you make with your writer can't be even READ in the same drive ? Or do you have another cdrom/dvdrom drive and do those refuse to read the backups ? And if you try one of your friends' backups, do those work in your drive ? Do other cd's work in that drive ?
