    Cool Now here's a question that will wind u computer geeks up....

    This question is tricky. Now on the origincal CDs or MAX PAYNE and GTA2 games, when i opened the CD window i c a CD icon behind the bars. now dat surely means that the cd is protected and i also saw some CD copying protection files on 'em. now they work fine. BUT when u copy them WHY DONT THEY WORK. Since i copied all the files from the original CD to a new CD-R(W) CD but they dont work. the games always ask me to insert the original CDs. now i want a solution for this plz.
    thanx

    The answer is all the newer games have copy protection on them which means it will not send critical files that make it work to the copy cd. BJ

    i did use the DEAMON tools, but they are so complicated. specially the instructions on how to unlock a CD. i want a simple n easy to use program. u ppl know of any. i mean all these terms like burning etc make me confuse...suggest me a simple, working yet a powerful solution for unlocking and playing copied games...
    thanx... let the good suggestion roll in...
