Windows 2k and copy protection problem with most games

[Shudder]

I can play any game in Windows 9x instantly, but here's the problem with 2000.

Whenever I load up a game it takes about 2-3 minutes for it to try to load the game up, then it says something like cannot read from drive, Retry, cancel, or continue. When I hit continue it finally loads up into the game with no problem.

I thought it might be my CD drive, but since it works fine in 98 I don't know. I'm glad I have to crack my own bloody games just to get them to work correctly, although with the newest batch of safedisc games that's not really a working correctly solution.

Is there a program to load up into memory to disable safedisc checks? I mean, I BOUGHT these games and I can't even play them correctly, yet people who pirate them have no problem Gotta love the irony in that.

Thanks

What would my video card have to do with it?

Any EA game has this problem, Unreal Tournament as well. UT I don't care about since I have a crack for it.

The only reason I need this is because the newest batch of EA games have a slightly newer copy protection and well, I'll put up with using my originals for now until someone can crack it correctly. I'd rather have it take 3 minutes to load and work correctly than load up instantly but have problems.
