    Where did you get these games?  The situation sounds like something illegal.... ::)

    What "help" do you want?  These games are written so that the presence of the CD is required in order to try to make sure the person playing has a legitimate copy of the game.

      Your english is fine. 

      I don't know if there is such a thing as a virtual CD ROM. 

      I know you're trying to avoid having to have the CD in there every time you want to play. 

      I was able to do that on one game, because someone gave me a "hacked" copy of Quake 2.  The hack allowed people to play the game without having the CD.  The only reason I accepted that version was that I owned a legitimate copy of the game.  It was nice to be able to run the game without having to use the drive, but I just did it for a while for convenience.

      Virtual CD Drive = Mount the CD in a virtual drive (so the computer thinks it has the original CD in the drive)
