No Disk Inserted??

Do you need to have the disk in the drive to run SH4? ? After installing and viewing the sim, I exited from the program and removed my disk from the drive. Later I attempted to open the program and received a text box that said "No disk inserted" and leads me to a website called SecurRom that instructed me to work-around this problem by going to the Start Menu, going to "Run" and to type "cmd"
and then at the prompt to type "dla disable e:" Where "e" is my CD-Rom drive.

When I do this, I received a response that "dla" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or a batch file.

What do I do now? I prurchased my program legally from Amazon, one would think you can run a program without a disk being in the drive once it's installed. The work-around doesn't seem to work. I'm running this on a Dell comuter with XP-Pro as my OS.

You must have the disk in. Unfortunately thats just the way it is.

The reference to DLA that you say referrs to "Drive Letter Access." Some CD/DVD burners come with additional software that allow you to access a writable disk like a hard drive. This feature is built into Windows XP.

Has nothing to do with SH4 copy protection.
