I finally solved my problem with copying the cd. I found out that it is impossible to copy the cd because there is a sort of physical stamp on a part of the cd that can't be written onto no a cdr. I tried about 5 programs and wasted 5 cdrs in the process of trying to get a copy. I finally found a program called Alcohol 120%. I downloaded a free trial and wrote a cd with it. The program copys the "stamp" onto a file on the cd where it will know where to find it. The software tells the computer that the cd has the stamp in the right place and the game plays flawlessly. The disadvantage of this method is tat it can only play on a computer that has emulation software such as Alcohol 120%, which costs $50 for the license.
