Backup copy of Colin Mcrae rally 2005

[bitter&twisted]

I have tryed clone cd with no luck it appears to create the cd with no problems but it does not work when I try to run the game.
Any idears very welcome as I have young kids who wreack cds with great ease.

What settings did you use to copy the original?
Also, I'm not sure CloneCD can make a good copy of the game.

Its Starforce 3 so the backup wont play! And CloneCD will make a backup of Starforce games but not a 1:1 so you will still need a crack! And there isnt one available yet for this game! Ive used CloneCD to make backups of a few Starforce games now but it really is a wasted exercise unless there is a crack availabe because even if you use the backup for installing you will still need the original Disc in the drive to play it.

Try this trick...

1.Insert CD, back up with Alchohol 120% Starforce 3 profile. Creating a ISO.
2.Mount the iso to a virtual drive (Daemon tools,Elby)
3.Install the game.
4.Now heres the tricky part. Follow this and you SHOULD be ok.
5.Before starting the game, run WMP9.
6.Quickly start Singles (1 second - yes that quick)
7.If you have no luck first time, try and try again.
8.If it dont work for you im sorry, a few other mates of mine have tried it some worked, some didnt.

I think you will find if you do a search of the forums the Windows Media Player trick has been discussed before!
