Hi,
I'm just wondering how to create an optical drive on my laptop.?
Can't find it on Google.!
Help PLease.!

No sure I understand your question about an optical drive.

You can't create an optical drive, unless you are talking about a virtual drive. I usually use Daemon Tools for that.

I was told it was an optical drive but that must be the wrong name.!! Ha.! What I want to do is install a pc game to the computer so I dont need the disk to play it.?

You need what's called a "no CD" patch for the game.

Got this sorted.! Thanks, thread can be closed.!

There are 2 ways, a virtual drive and Daemon Tools is one.
In effect you load the game into the virtual drive : http://www.metacafe.com/watch/367802...irtual_drives/
The problem is that the DRM on many games "sees" Daemon and either the game won't install or won't run.

Possible solutions : Slysoft has a virtual drive program (free) and a paid app, Game Jackal, that works well : http://www.slysoft.com/en/gamejackal.html

Now, about Game Copy World, you can get most, if not all, no cd cracks there but at a risk ( Also the intro flips out parents. ) .
They're pretty good about keeping trojans off the site but you are gambling so you scan that file before you run it.

There are usually several cracks so make sure you're getting the one for your game, they're listed as USA, EUR, Eng., etc. and also by date.
Pay attention when downloading to be sure you get the right one.

You can skip all this hassle by buying your games from a digital download site but that brings another set of problems in its wake.
