Hi Lone_wolf.

If he has more then 1 computer on a network, he can share the CD drive from another computer and just have the cd in there.

Otherwise there are multiple ways of doing what you've suggested, but unfortunately they're all counted as "cracking" or "illegal" so....sorry we can't help you.

hey lone_wolf,

Try "game Jackal" if you have the game installed on that PC then Game jackle will keep the .ISO file so you wont need the CD to load the game anymore.
