Seeing as how its called copy-protection, is this something that you want to do? Even if it is possible, you must ask yourself if it is right. Check your license agreement. If it says that you only have the right to the one game on the one media, then it would be illegal for you to make a copy. Do you want to teach your daughter that it is OK to break the law? After all, she agreed to the license agreement the first time she played the game. If she didn't think the license was satisfactory, she should have not played it. If she is too young to understand this, then the burden falls to you.
OTOH, if you believe that the copy protection is to prevent sharing of games and should not apply to backups, then go ahead and make this distinction. I've never even seen a game on DVD (my last computer games came on floppy except for Harpoon that came on a CD). Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
