Used safedisc settings and made backups out of my original Command and Conquer : Generals and Simcity 4 but for some reason they refuse to run after I install them. I've tried them installing via my DVDROM as well as my CDRW drive with no luck. The install is smooth but the game crashes when running. I'm on Win2K w/SP3 installed. All my other games have no problem whatsover. I'm running the latest alcohol build. I dont understand why the game(s) refuse to run.

Now here's the strange part....I used these same backups and made images from them using the safedisc setting in alcohol. When I mount them on the virtual cd drive, they work perfectly...like how my originals used to work. The game(s) run perfectly....

Can anyone help me figure out what was done wrong in the burning process?

oh, and yes ignore media option has been checked in alcohol's settings...

Thanks
