Is it possible? Sure it is 'possible', but will I waste another 2-3 hours of my "free" time as well as buy ANOTHER DVD drive for a game I have already paid for...no I don't think I will.
Oh, did I mentioned that I orginally bought this Sony DVD drive FOR THIS GAME! Yes, that is right, this game worked on THIS drive before I replaced my Motherboard and CPU...and memory...and HD...and PS...and vid card...
Yep, that is correct. My DVD drive, my floppy drive and the fan cooling my box are about the ONLY parts I used from my old PC. That was the box when SHIII 'used to work'. Nice, real nice.
I suspect some new driver loaded with/for XP has screwed up the copy protection for this game (Starforce I think, not that I 'really' care) on this particular DVD drive (yes, I 'really' did go to the Sony web site and resintall my firm ware for my DVD drive--only way I could get Neverwinter Nights 2 working...grumble...grumble...)
Thanks anyway,
GG
