War on the Southern Front CD Check question

[Agathosdaimon]

Hi All! I am new here, seems like a great forum and the place to discuss HPS games

I got Total War in Europe War on the Southern Front as a CD last year - bought from an ebay store

i am wondering if there is any way to circumvent the cd check? i notice that a lot of HPS games were updated so as to do away with this, but it still seems to be in place on War on the Southern Front for me and this is quite annoying as my dvd drive is quite faulty and can take ages before it ever recognises a cd

is there any advice as to how i can get around this - ie, i was initially successful in installing the game form the cd but since then get the cd to be recognised is a frustrating repetitive exercise that i would like to avoid

cheers
