So I got the urge to start playing my old Sim City 3000 again, and the only thing is running on my laptop the cd rom really seems to hamper the game. You have to have the CD in to play, but it seems to stall quite a bit waiting for the CD drive to draw the buildings. I'm guessing this is an OS thing (i'm running XP and XP didn't exist when it was made), because the drive i'm running it with is waayyyy faster than the old computer I had.
So my question: Is there a way to copy the CD to my hard drive and trick the game to look there instead so it isn't so slow?
