Trouble installing games?
Have you had trouble installing programs, especially games, on your XP machine, and been told that you need to login with administrators privileges?

The most likely cause is the copy protection, SafeDisc

Find the following file, SECDRV.SYS on the cd

Copy SECDRV.SYS (from the CD) to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers

Now try installing the program
