Excuse my iggorance.....Just how do you determine that the problem is "copy
protection"???

I installed twice and tried every available resolution....shut down everything
but systray and explorer.....    
When I get to the main menu it hangs up for a while then shuts the game down
sending me back to the desktop.   I get no error messages telling me about copy
protection....just a game that installs,  Plays a flashy video then pulls a
Scott Pruett and crashes....

So is this  the problem you are talking about or not???

(Don't gimme NO***in E-mail)

>Not to mention it's a TRUE 72x drive.  None of this "Max" ***:)

>It uses 7 lasers to achive the rated speed all the way across the platter.

>The thru-put rate is something like 8MB/Sec :)

>I'd never give up mine!

Again...why?  Seems like overkill...<shrug>

Why pay $200.00 more for a cpu when you can overclock a cheaper cpu to
the same speed?
