Microsoft SafeDisc Windows XP Fix for Microsoft Games 1.0

Windows XP / Freeware / 2,530 downloads

When running a restricted user account with fast user switching under Windows XP, some games will not start correctly. The game requests that the original disk be placed in the drive, even if it is already present. To remedy this issue, download and run this fix.

This software will not alter or patch any component on your system, it will only change the startup state of the system component needed to start your game from start on demand (on game load), to start at boot (on Windows XP start).

    Play the game and return it, stating you could never get it working. Or use *tools* to get around the silly safedisk protections.

    Fixes what it claims to. Shame all this stupid copy protection stuff is preventing legitimate games from working. I hate safedisc--not because it prevents copying, but half of the cdrom drives have major problems reading the genuine disc.
