Mapsend Topo 3D CD 3 Required to Run

| Brent 2005-05-19, 12:27 pm |
| I just purchased the new Mapsend Topo 3D software and it requires you
to insert the 3rd CD to run. I run this on my laptop which only has an
external CD drive that I don't carry with me. Anyone know a way around
this? Without a solution, I'll likely return the software since I can't
run it since I'm not carrying my drive around with me.

A virtual drive program will let you copy it to the hard drive and the
program will emulate a CD-Rom drive. One program I've had good luck
with is Virtual Drive by Farstone.
You can find that dirt cheap (compared to retail) on eBay. Caveat
emptor, look for a seller with some history and a good feedback profile.

| Have you use Virtual Drive with Mapsend products? Several people have report
that it does not work with mapsend (as well as many other virtual drive type
products). Mapsend is a one tough cookie.

No, I have not. I have used it with DeLorme products and a few games
but have not tried it with anything that did not work yet.
Thanks for pointing that out, it may save someone some money. I don't
recall having heard that before.

| I think you are mistaken. There are some patches to deal with WinXP SP2
incompatibility problems. But there are no patches to remove the CD key
requirement. For a no-CD option you need to surf the net and/or get out the
hex editor.

| I have tried two things without any success: Nero's ImageDrive and simply
burning a CD copy.

| That link no longer works but I found some info by clicking on the "cached" link at the end of a google link for it. Google caches pages when they first find them. The full name of the file you want is MapSendNoCDPatch.zip |
