Here's the no cd registry entry for windows.
Just double click to add to your registry, and presto...no cd required. Say good bye to Iron Maiden unless you have the disk in though.
Crap...that didn't work...hang on. I'll get it somewhere for ya.

I tried that fix. It completed sucessfully, but I still get prompted for the CD.
Does It have to be applied on a Virgin install? I already have the 1.2 Patch applied.

I found the two modified EXE files that go with that Registry entry, and it now works without the CD, but...
About every 10 seconds, I get a pause of about a half-second. Is this common, and is there a fix, or is it my hardware or DirectX8?
While I have TDR2000, Carma2 will get a lot more play, and I'd really like to dump the CD step.
BTW SCI, I already have NOT purchased several of your games, including one that I was eagerly waiting for over a year, because of the WAY you handled the TDR2000 and NoseBleed Pack release. It is unlikely I will every buy another SCI product again, at least not knowingly. Not to worry. I don't expect you will be in business much longer... at least I hope not. Your inexcusable actions have already cost you over $400 in 2001 sales from me alone. The figure from those I have dissuaded from purchasing your product is considerably more.
There is NO excuse for the way you have treated your customers!

Nah...it's not common. Your system is fucked dude. Do you have windows managing your swap file or something? Sounds more like a video or sound problem to me.

Everything else works flawlessly, so the system is not "fucked." If I put the orig EXE files back in place, all is fine.
The ONLY problem is when I use the "crack" EXE files. I got them from "a nameless good hearted source," and tried both packages they listed -- though they contained the same EXE files.
So... I suspect that the cracked EXE doesn't like the Radeon or DirectX8.
PS I build PCs for a living, so I am certain the setup is as good as Microsoft's Code will allow.
