safedisk 2 bug makeing it impossible for me to even run original games, esp. to the author of UnSafe

[gcosta]

Hello
I am a developer and I have three cd drives on my pc: a dvd-rom drive, a plextor cd-rw drive, and a fast cd-rom drive, with letters Y, Z, and X respectively. I cannot run rescent safedisk 2 protexted games because of a safedisk 2 bug that does not allow it to detect drives beyond H:, as I am told my tech support from game companies. This does not happen with earlier versions of safedisk 2. For example, Red Alert 2 and Sacrifice work just fine for me, but the just-released MechCommander 2, ####topia (I got the fixed .EXE for this but a patch is comming), and Z Steel Soldiers (waiting for the V3.0 fixed .EXE) are a few of the games that, when run, I see the splash screen for a second then I am kicked back to the desktop with no explanation. A few games, like Emperor of Dune and Anachronox got patches that fixed this problem, but those that don't I cannot run. I have Windows 98 SE and no technical problems.
Anyway, I tried using the latest version of unsafedisk 2.xx.xx, just downloaded from gamecopyworld a few days ago, and the dumper gives me a runtime error when it is cracking a chosen .exe. This runtime error occurs while it is dumping the protected .exe right after I see its splash screen for a split second. I think this is because of the safedisk 2 bug.
For some reason, a few companies don't want to fix this even is game patches, like z Steel Soldiers.
Can the author of unsafedisk, or anyone else, at least help make it possible for me to run these games on my pc, or crack these .exe files so they run?
And can someone crack mechcommander2 and the latest version of z steel soldiers?
I am very busy and don't have time for this. This kind of bug is inexcusable, harkenng back to the days of DOS when a program was hard-coded to run only from the A: drive. Someone should sue Macrovision!

thanks,
Gino

I cant solve the macrovision madness for you however try this...
(1) if you are using 2000, me or beta Xp there was a offical macrovision release that fixed some minor bugs in sd2, me myself im not moving from 98 until somone *****s the offical release of Xp.
(2) Call the company complaints line...
(3) if they cant help you ask for a refund!
if they refuse to refund your product and you live in a 1st world country then your consumer rights have been violated and you can sue them, or at least report them to the appriopriate commision.
good luck

Just get the newest UnSafeDisc v2 from [####://gamefix.dxs.to/safedisc.htm]. The newest version of UnSafeDisc v2 works excellent since the old version are also there. And I haven't found any game yet which uses SafeDisc v2 which I couldn't crack with it.

Well hope this helps you out and good luck with it.
