No, sorry, can't help you there. I'd guess they changed the copy
protection when they made the engine XP ready... is there actually still
a registry editor in XP? Might be some registry key or something like
that...
Only thing *I* can thing of is using deamons tools and an iso of the CD,
but that means wasting quite a bit of hd space.

Unfortunately the original registry edit no longer works, even if applied to
the new GD reg. entries.

Well I gots lots of hd space. In fact I think I'll
transfer the lot to
my other machine that I only use to display my
reference photos for my
paintings. Then I can just leave in the CD.

Too bad BobCob was updated for XP but the noCD thingy
in it wasn't.
Never mind though... I wouldn't be able to bear
playing with C2 without
BobCob, so I'm grateful to Rhodent and Gordnorn for
making it available
for XP.

Yeah tried looking in the reg but it didn't seem to
change anything. BTW, thanks for the great site you
have there.

Anyone seen my lost sig?

I don't use it. And there are better ways of dealing with ISOs in linux.

Bad for the CD, though. Better not need it just for CD checking. Ruined
one that way (stupid drive). Luckily it was no Creatures disk.

I guess you can't have everything. Linux probably runs the original C2
fine, I guess.
