I tried to find a way to circumvent the copy protection on Fritz5 and Extreme Chess (I own both.) It is not that I want to steal the program, but I am just tired of having to insert the CD all the time. The approach that I tried was to copy all of the files on the Fritz5 CD to a directory on my hard drive and use the program "FAKECD" to make the OS think that it had an extra CD-ROM. This approach didn't work. So one day Extreme Chess tells me to insert the CD. I accidently inserted the Fritz 5 CD instead and it worked! I find this curious, because Fritz 5 didn't exist when Extreme Chess was developed. I wonder if the Extreme Chess CD would also substitute for Fritz5? John Coffey
