Guest Tim Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Hi, I installed games from ISO file and to be able to play that, the file should always be mounted into the virtual drive. Question, is it possible to make it like playing it without mounting it into the virtual drive? What do I mean is, is there any trick to do it that way, without virtual drive needed? :D

Guest Bob I Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Re: Virtual drive If the application requires the CD be available to read, wouldn't you think that it has to be available to the application to read? This isn't a Windows XP requirement, or problem.

They are used commonly by cheap gamers who download their games off of torrent sites. While this does work, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU NOT TO TRY IT. These cracks sometimes never work and almost 75% of game cracks are some sort of virus. Try it, and risk reinstalling Windows. Why don't you just burn the ISO to a disc and use the disc or just use the real disc (bet you dont have one because you downloaded the commerical game from a torrent site :-P)???
Guest David B. Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Re: Virtual drive Actually some No CD cracks have practical uses, I use them on many games I own and have paid for. It prevents me from having to swap CD's all the time, thus reducing the possibility I'm gonna damage one, and for some games it speeds up loading as it stops the game from accessing the CD drive to confirm it's a valid disc/install. I have the right as a consumer to make backup copies of my CD's for personal use, since the mfg's see fit to copy protect them, thus preventing me from making a backup copy, I use no CD cracks to help save my CD's. -- ---- Crosspost, do not multipost http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 How to Post http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm _________________________________________________________________________________ <happymac.support@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1185818184.190610.238600@d30g2000prg.googlegroups.com... > On Jul 30, 10:24 am, Tim <T...@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: >> I think that is more impractical... >> >> >> >> "Bob I" wrote: >> > Put in the real CD. >> >> > Tim wrote: >> >> > > Hi, >> >> > > I installed games from ISO file and to be able to play that, the file >> > > should >> > > always be mounted into the virtual drive.

Guest Tim Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Re: Virtual drive Thanks David. I think that's the main purpose of creating images such as ISO files. To eliminate the inconvenience of using CD and to back it up which is the most important.
