Using the disk

July 30, 2003 11:27 AM from

I bought the game via disc. I don't have any problems playing it on my pc with the disk. however I want to play it on my laptop. if I play a game using the disk in my laptop it gets hot after about 30 minutes then shutdown. i want to know can I install it on my laptop and play the game without using the disc. Thanks.

I believe you DO NOT need the the disk in to play the game.
Try it and find out.

But if I was you I would be worried about why your laptop gets hot.

you are right. i talked to HP and they showed me how to reset this. some problem. it only happens with games using the cd-rom drive. I did know why but I don't remember. thanks. common sense would have told me to just try it but I am work and just curious. thanks for the info.

You do not need the cd in to play the game. Just install it as usual, then play. There is no protection on the game. The only protection is the cd key # which you need to install, download updates, or register for the metaverse.
