| | Problem running games When try to run a game I get this message "Please insert the original disc intead of a backup (4001)." Then the game doesn't play. these games are not backups or pirated copies. They were bought legally and it is really frustrating to pay so much money for a game when you have to fool around so much to get it to run. How can I get the games to run like they're supposed to? |

Disabling non-used drives in Device Manager sometimes helps too. If it's anything other than the original disc that you're using eg a mounted iso image of the software, then some copy protection mechanisms can detect that. Otherwise more details of the game and / or googling a bit with the error message may turn up a solution. -- Jon |
