AC and CD-ROM Drive
Hi. I've been playing Alpha Centauri/Alien Crossfire ever since they came out.
The one thing that irritated me was that I had to put the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive to get Alien Crossfire to run. Since most of the time I play the game on my laptop on the road, this was very irritating to me. I always had to remember to bring the CD-ROM everywhere.
A couple of years ago, I found a website that had a software work-around. Once you installed it, you no longer had to keep inserting the CD-ROM. It was wonderful!
I am about to get a new laptop, and need to install the game in my new computer. I would like to be able to install this work-around, too, but I have no idea where I can find it! I've totally forgotten the original source.
Is there someone out there who can help me? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

I don't think looking for cracks is generally considered part of the FAQ. But that's just me.

It shouldn't be too hard to find. And as long as you own the CD, I don't see any problem with it. The link should be in any number of old threads you'll find if you search this forum.

Maybe not, but it IS in there. I ought to know, I put the answer there when someone posted the question to the FAQ thread. Remember, I'm talking about the FAQ on the top of _this_ forum page, not the FAQ on Firaxis' site.

Try Googlie's site.
You can just copy the (cracked) exe's onto your laptop if you still have them on a desktop or backup.
