If I understand it correctly, the problem is most usually nothing to do with the game and everything to do with the type of copy protection used by the game.
Functionally for the user there's no difference, I know.
(Welcome to the forum, BTW
)
Yeah, I kinda gathered that from looking into problems with that other game, but nothing definitive. The game worked fine on my wife's HP laptop, slightly older, with a different DVD drive in it, so it is also drive compatability as well(I think). Regions, capabilities (OEM specs) all simililar or the same. Just one of those things that I couldn't get to the bottom of. But since it was the wife's laptop, and she uses it extensively, that was not an option for me.
Also, thanks for welcome, but if you look at my join date, I've been lurking for quite some, always checking on progress, but posting very little.
