This is called "blacklisting", and is one of the ways game publishers like to screw their customers over. How to solve it ? First of all there are some settings you can change in programs like A120% and Daemon Tools, things like "Vendor Identification" and "Product Identification". Sometimes they look for device driver with the standard id for A120% to check for the presence of the program, so changing that might work. Most of the time you need a new version of A120% or DT to bypass the blacklisting. So wait for a new version OR hunt down that Alcohol key. That's all I can think of at the moment. Anyone know how to retrieve an A120% key from the registry ? Maybe that could work...
