How can you guys compare a car to software, software can be copied, ie when someone gets it, the 1st owner doesnt lose it, a car cant be ''copied & pasted'', if you steal a car, the original owner doesnt have it anymore...

For example, if a mate copied your software, would you have any loss?
NO

If your mate steals your car though, you have lost your car, and can't use it anymore.

Just saying, stop making ridiculous comparisons.

Could be a problem with it and that drive, i get loads of games etc... that will only install from my DVD burner and not my normal drive, and vice-versa.

ive never heard that before now, everything has worked in all the drives ive had ove the years with no problems what so ever, and i mean CD Drives, DVD ROMS and DVD burners intodays computers

Aye its a strange one, sometimes i can start installing it from say me normal drive, but then halfway through it will come up with error reading file all the time, so ill shove it in my Burner, installs no probs, or wont even explore etc... like the OP's in one drive, yet stick it in the other tada, well bizarre. :confused:

If you can afford your rig in Sig then you can afford the software.

Sounds like a problem with your drive mate.

Try copying the disk using your laptop (if it has a burner) and see if that runs
