I normaly just install and play with the Asus reader in mine but I've tried it on all three of my drives and everything I've burnt works.

I just came back from my neighbors and failed, I wanted to see what results I could get on theirs cause they just bought a new Dell and it has, LiteOn-DVD-ROM-LTD163 and a NEC DVD +RW ND-1100A and neither drive would play the game. They both would install but not play.

Now if it is installed in my machine (autoplay) I can't find where it is running. So what gives here ????

if its safedisk which sounds like thats what your talking about..the reason it works on your machine is autoplay comes with bw5, the reason it works on your memorex reader is cdrs dont need autoplay to hide cdr media and some of them will work with safedisk and no emualtion. reason why it doesnt work on your neighbors computer is one drive is a rw and the other prolly just needs autoplay to work even though its not a cdrw, I have the same thing with my creative reader it needs autoplay to play safedisk 2.9 titles.

generally you need autoplay installed on your computers that play your titles. if you back up securerom titles on that drive you definatly need autoplay on the target drives.
