Hall of Famer

Hall of Famer (8/10)

    Further to last message, "SafeDiskShim" doesn't work in my virtualized Windows 7 64-bit SP1 instance. It installs OK (it's listed as an installed program), but the actual process itself is never created. That is unlike my native Windows 10 Pro 64-bit environment, where the "SafeDiskShim" process is actually created. I tried rebooting the Windows 7 VM after installing, all to no avail.

    Manny, thanks for pointing out the "SafeDiskShim"; I hadn't seen that referenced anywhere else on this board. It works on my Windows 10 Pro machine (hooray!) with my original MVP disks. I also tried running this utility on my Windows 2000, Windows XP SP3, and Windows 7 VM's, and it does not run on any of these 32-bit environments, so I'm guessing it is a 64-bit utility only. I'm gonna create a Windows 7 64-bit VM and try that now.

    Just as a follow-up for those interested, MVP 2005 didn't run/install under a vanilla Windows 7 VM installation. It wouldn't allow me to install Disk 2 when I reached this point. Similar for NBA Live 2005; when I reached the 2nd disk for install, it wouldn't let me click the OK button to start installing 2nd DVD's info. Additionally, I XCOPY'd a full installation of MVP 2005 that I had completed on Windows 10 Pro (which didn't run), over to the Windows 7 VM, and when attempting to run that on Windows 7 VM, I kept getting prompted to insert the correct CD into the drive.

    Yes, good ideas, KC. Windows 7 virtualization is prob worth a shot. I'm not a Unix guy, but what the heck, maybe I'll try that too, although I don't think I have installation CD's for either.

    Thanks for the reach back, and added information. I can't get past the SECDRV.SYS issue in either Win10Pro or Virtualized XP SP3, so trying out dgVoodoo is a really a moot point currently. FYI, dgVoodoo is a 64-bit app, and won't even run on my Virtualized XP SP332-bit system. If my only recourse is to get a dedicated game machine, then I will certainly look into this solution further. Thanks again.

    Thanks, but trying to avoid a dual boot scenario, since I require my Win10Pro host to be active all the time. Its virtualization, getting it to work on W10Pro, or have another dedicated machine for games.

    Hi guys, New to the forum, and scoured it, not finding any information. I have original MVP 2005 disks, and installed them on a Virtualized Windows XP SP3 system using Virtualbox. When I have my Disk 1 in my DVD-Rom drive, and attempt to run the game, I get a "Please insert correct DVD-Rom" error", which I see has been a problem in the Windows 10 thread. Has anyone successfully found a solution to this problem using Virtualbox OR has anyone come to the determination that the game won't run in the above environment? Thanks in advance.

    This didn't work for me. How does MVP2005.exe know about the dgvoodoo *.DLL's and the .CONF file? Sorry, but I don't get it. I'm running a Windows 10 Pro 64 machine, btw. Also, how does this bypass the SECDRV.SYS issue? Thanks in advance.
