World of Warcraft? Of course. Plain old Warcraft, I don't know but suspect so although it may bug you for the CDs from time to time; it probably wouldn't need them, just an anti-piracy thing. There are "fixes" available. Richards mentioned virtual drives. That can work...after installing the game one makes an iso of the disc, stashes it in a folder then mounts the iso on the virtual drive. In some cases if the installed program wants the CD inserted, it will expect the CD drive letter to be the same as that from which it was installed. Since the virual drive letter will not be the same, things won't work; however, there will be an ini or cfg file in the install folder that lists the drive letter required and it is a simple matter to change it. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.
