I have recently taken ownership of an Acer 1400 Laptop. I cannot install DBPro onto the laptop as the disc is unreadable in the drive.

I an concerned that I have spent my money on product that I cannot install onto the one machine on which I want to install it.

I was wondering if anyone has a solution to this or knows if there will be a way of getting a dongle and and unprotected CD. I do not wish to pay another $59.99 for an update that may not even work. If the CD is not protected that comes with the dongle then I may consider and upgrade.

Cheers in advance

I suggest you upload it to the internet on a PRIVATE SERVER. Not a place where people can accsess (for example, get PHP Triad for Windows and install it on a desktop, then put Dark Basic on it) - then Download it from your laptop

I am not sure what you are talking about with PHP Triad.

I need a way of stopping the installer from looking for the CD

Is it just the installer that has trouble reading the CD ? In which case the CD drive cant cope with SafeDisk systems, in which case a way around it might be to copy everything to the hard drive and then install off the hard drive. Your going to come across a problem though every twenty or so compiles though...

If it just cant be read at all, try and get a new one.

Good news everyone! I really am THAT good...
