I have Microsoft’s Fly simulator FS2000 that need the CD in CD player for
working. On net some handy person made a fix that you could download, so you
needn’t the CD. I must say that I am very free from  bad conscience using this
fix.
It is more okay if you must put in the CD every twenty time for example. But to
have it in the CD every time is a torture. I mean if you have several programs
that need that, you have to change all the time. And that also wear on the CD.
Especially if your children use it. It is sad that this freedom from CD in
CM8000 seems to be a bug.
