Even worse, I have somewhat different case as ghost_zero5.

In the client PCs of my son and two friends, all never installed with any burning software, and game V2166 UT2K3 installed (V2141 Taiwan + V2166 patch), my backup UT2K3 CD only works on that only PC with BlindWrite 429 standalone AutoPlay + Lite-On 163D. The other two with Pioneer DVD drive start the game in
user default 640x480 windows mode, not full screen, although later on I can set to full screen, just every game initiation resets the user options. Then I made some trial and found that for the
working one if replacing the drive, i.e. swap the drives, the game running also swap itself. Sometimes, the Pioneer drive start the game in full screen, but the CD spins 3 minutes more long instead of 3.5 seconds to initiate the game. If removing the AutoPlay, all 3 client PC don't run the game. It appears that even with standalone AutoPlay 429 installed, not all drive can read latest SecuROM 4.84.00.0030 signal.

To lapino,
Have you tried the Pioneer DVD drive when compiling 429 standalone AutoPlay ?
