Yah, the demo.exe loads the game. Great find. But, I gets various error messages at different times -- though it does seem to work overall. Just the ten day limit isn't fun

My only suggestion for you guys is to continue using your original for now, until a more workable solution is found.

THIS WORKS
First mount image with DT, then run YASU, now copy "Dat3.cab" from image to desktop, while Dat3.cab is copying wait about 3 seconds, then click play. This seems to work for everyone.
Afterwards just delete Dat3.cab from desktop.

You should only have to do this once, after that UFO al will run everytime without the copying of the Dat3.bat.
Dont ask me why it works but it does.

Thanks for this great method, but for me it did not work everytime. I had to retry it quite often sometimes before the game started. Then I figured, that the timeout for the validation is about one minute.

WHAT I FOUND OUT:
You can delay the check by copying one, two or even three files simultaniously from the mounted image. If I stop the copying after about 50 Seconds it will always (100%) let me in.
Usually I copy two files, stop the first after 50 seconds and the second file after about 55 sec. But that depends on system performance i guess.

@Argail
My suggestions were only for you to be able to first get the game working using by your original disc to play.

Once you have established that you can again install each program to find out the best method to get the game to work 'without' using the original disc to play.

@Grumpy:

Thanks for your help. Uninstalled everything then reinstalled alcohol + DT + driver update.

Now i can play with original again, but the method with daemon tools and making an image with alcohol doesnt work. Error 1000 don t use backup disc. Is it normal that i cannot access the drive with poseden image? It says damage or not readable. Tried to copy data files from a backup disc i made, and doing an image, and without backup disc and just imaging. I get a timeout at first then click retry and then it always gives the error. As far as i could tell i was doing it correct so far?
