Hello,
On my system VPHall CD is not being recognized even after installing the latest patch (2.5.9.2). Using a fixed .exe doesn't help either. I've been able to fix a few games by updating the security protection drivers and others by simply enabling security protections that were disabled by some Windows Updates. For VPHall is there such a method to get it working? I'm on Win7 64 bits.

Works fine here. Even when I switch the drive letter of the virtual drive I used (seems it checks all CD drives)? Maybe your disc is just bad.

Are you using any compatibility fixes?

Ok, turned out I accidentally moved a folder inside another one, but now I'm getting a different error. "Unable to load profile.dll" even if it's there already. Tried both the patched and unpatched dll without success.
Edit: Did a fresh reinstall and now the CD Not in drive message is back again. I don't know what to do anymore.

Check the disc for errors?

Well, it installs and copy the remaining files without errors.

Hello, I haven't updated this thread in a long while but this is exactly how I managed to run it before, thanks. For some reason the nocd doesn't work on Win7 and above and in WinXP only for some days.
