Similar problem

Operating System: WinXP
Burning Software: Clonecd
Anti-virus Software: Dr.Web
DAEMON Tools Version: 3.41

I've got similar problem. But in my case after changing to 2nd CD my computer freezes (WinXP can't even close freezed installation from ctrl-alt-del!) :?

I don't have an explanation for this. Does installing from the Original and playing from the images work? For both/one/none?

Emulation is only needed for imperfectly burned CDRs, not for images you mount to your virtual drives. So varying emulation settings will not have any effect on the usage of images.

I'd like to share your opinion but if the images are good, DAEMON Tools should not be able to cause such effect. However I'm not related to developing DTools so if VeNoM386 says something else, he's right, not me.

Still, it is possible that it's some weird kind of copy protection like "if the game's run from a virtual drive, act like this to confuse the user" - but that does seem unlikely, doesn't it?

For me that's something completely different. Apart from that, it is not necessary to say the same thing thrice (at least that's what I counted in a quick query for your username)
we can answer it just as well if you ask once and put all necessary information into that post.

.

The thing is, the same image worked on another computer. Perhaps its just some other protection thing that I must have picked up on my computer, and is causing this problem.

Does it matter what hard drive the virtual drives are installed from? I have two, and I installed both Dtools and Alcohol 58 to my D drive. Perhaps that is throwing off the system? With hope, I will have enough drive space on my C: to run a little experiment.

I had it installed to c:, d: and e: so far, and never had problems resulting from that... I doubt that's it...

GTA Vice City is protected by SECUROM 4.8xx so you need to create your image with ALCOHOL 120% or BLINDWRITE and select the securom 4.8xx profile (for alcohol RMPS data will be added in the image) .

If you do that correctly GTA VC installer will work properlly ;

A wrong image will not be installed properlly and you will get exactly the problem you add (some files which doesn't exist are requested) .
