NoCD-DVD for Games!!!

Advent57 · 07-31-2007

Im new here so im sorry if this has been covered before but never have i ever had to use these cracks/hacks just to get the games working that i have actually bought!

Why do i have to use them? whats wrong with my disk checking? is it a fault with Vista64 or my DVD drives? At the moment i am having to use no cd or dvd on about 80% of the games i am installing including GTR2,Colin McRae 4,5 & Dirt.

I have a dual boot XP32 & Vista64 but XP is just for music so i really dont want to put any games on that drive.

Im just glad that the Battlefield series seem to work without them.

Just guessing here, but have you tried launching the game as administrator? Sometimes it is a permissions issue in Vista. I just add the run as administrator option on the compatibility tab under properties. Usually fixes my problems.
