Keeps looking for the correct cd in win2K

Just expanding on the info in the posts above a bit...

DaemonTools doesn't appear to cause this problem either. Adaptec CD Creator also appears to be unaffecting, which is rather suprising to me as it seems to break everything else. CloneCD can coexist peacefully with it, and it also seems (after some experimentation) that turning off autorun can lead to a number of other problems, but not this one.

More games seem to have "safedisc barf" on NT-based windowses than on win32s, but I've seen it on both. Laptop drives also seem to be a serious sticking point; I once had a laptop running 2k that wouldn't play any of my safedisc'd games.

It never ceases to amuse me that the copy protection scheme in my old copy of Wing Commander not only is faster and takes less CPU time than safedisc, but is also more effective at dissuading piracy.
