In virtual pc version 7 I was able to install a game from a DVD-ROM
disk, but when I go to play it I get the error message 'Please insert
the correct DVD-ROM, select OK and restart application'. I have tried
doing this, and have updated already to 7.0.1. Also, when I open up My
Computer, it does see and recognize the drive and the disk in it. Is
there any explanation, or more importantly how to fix this?

Explanation: Copy protection. Since the cd-rom is emulated, it
appears that the cd-rom is copied and not original.

Fix: Obtain a no CD patch or updated program from the game publisher
that doesn't check the dvd
