Nope doenst matter it just keeps crashing all the damn time... really annoying.

if its crashing it might be driver related. my issue is it refuses access from copy protection, seemingly regardless of type used except for cd checks.

anyway i removed the nocd patch of one game and tried enabling xp2...notta, same message...its reading the copy protection as if it was a backup? what in vista does that? a security setting maybe like UAC?
