I notice that one of us locked the thread and forgot to provide the explanation, so here it is: doing so is usually against the EULA that you agreed to on installing the game.

(For the record, the "disc scratching" reason is why I prefer going for Steam these days.)

I think someone may have locked it because the guy listens to the BeeGees.

Yep, you are correct, I locked it, reckoned an explanation was a waste of my valuable energy.

So I just want to provide a alternative if you are worried about disc scratching and its a software I paid and used at one point but because of Steam its no longer on my system.

Game Jackal Pro is the ultimate "must have" killer app for the PC gamer! If you, like most gamers, find it annoying looking for and inserting the CD-ROM for your favorite game each time you play it, then Game Jackal Pro is for you.

Keeping your gaming investment safe: One major concern gamers have is the CD's life span. The CD-ROM for a popular game may be inserted and removed many hundreds of times, this of course leads to the inevitable "Unable to read" error and ultimately a trip to the trash.

Not sure on its legality but there is an alternative, just might not work with all games.
