I am trying to play Sims2 and it says that I have virtual drives and that I must disable them before it will allow me to play.
I have Daemon tools.. I disabled the virtual drives.
I have Alcohol.. I set virtual drives to 0.
I have Nero.. I couldn't figure out how to disable virtual drives for that.. but someone said they do have em.
Some of the programs I have that may be causing it include: DVD Shrink, cloneCD, directcd, powerDVD, WinISO, alcohol, Nero, Daemon tools, etc.
Using Nero I was able to obtain the following about the drive:
First of all .. this is a virtual drive correct? And secondly what is causing it? or how can I find out what is causing it? Could I just go into properties and uninstall the driver?
Use CloneCD 5.0.2.2, burn CD 1 and choose the "Protected PC Game" profile and read image at 4x, burn at 4x.(PC Version)Reboot your pc, enable CloneCD's "hide cd-r" and play the backup in your burner , not your dvd or cd-rom.
Asus K8N nVidia nForce3 Pro 250 GB, Athlon 64 3200+, Hitachi 80 gig SATA 150, Corsair XMS 1 gig PC4000, ATI Radeon Saphire 9600 Pro (256 DDR), Windows XP Pro (64 Bit),Lite-ON SOHD 167T,, Plextor PX-712SA,BenQ 1640.
but I was trying to use the original cd and it wouldn't let me play because it detects virtual drives on my computer and tells me to disable them all before restarting the game..
I just uninstalled Roxio (b/c it's crap) and then I disabled the drive. For some reason my computer keeps popping it up, but I just uninstall the driver it dissapears and it lets me play Sims2.
Shoey thanks for the concern. Luckily I already had burned the game using CloneCD and it worked just fine.
I first used the real version then used the cd copy of it.. still np. If anyone has similar problems let me know.
