Links 2001 - Virual PC 2007

Message:

I wanted to play a little golf on my pc, and had an old copy of Microsoft
Links 2001. I installed it in a Windows XP virtual pc, it installs well,
except when first launching the game it is unable to verify the installation
media. Keeps saying to insert Links 2001 CD #1. I'm assuming its the copy
protection and the emulated CD ROM drive.

How do I get around this? I've tried all the options listed at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/228985 . Am I SOL?

Drag the vm from the Virtual PC Console onto the desktop. The resulting
shortcut will have a Run As Administrator on its context menu. Run the vm
by right clicking the shortcut and choose RAA. Just about all copyprotected
media have to be run in a vm with elevated rights.

Is your host OS Vista?

If so, launch Virtual PC as administrator. If there is copy
protection on the disk, Vista blocks some access if you're not running
the app as administrator.
