It seems to me there has got to be an easy answer to what would seem a simple task. Do to hackers and such im sure its not gonna be easy or maybey not even worth the hassle. All I wanna do is take a game I paid for from the store. Put it on my hard drive and play it so I dont have to keep messing with the cd. I have heard of virtual drive and such. Ive messed with it some but seems like to big a pain in the bottom. I do have a life and such. Reckon thats why I dummped xp. Wanna reformat to big a pain. Gottal call microsoft. I went back to windows 2000. Feel sorry for the ones running the illeagle xp. They are gonna get so busted really soon. Mine was leagal came on the new puter I got. Still hated it. For thoes of ya running illeagal xp dump it fast. Uncle bill is gonna nail you really soon. Thats a fact. Sorry im ranting. Is there a simple way to do this or just keep inserting the disk when I wanna play. Max Payne and The fall of max payne are my 2 fav. Thanks all for your imput.........peace.....im out
