    when i burn a back up pc game on my pc using alcohol 120% it works fine but when i put it in my other pc it doesn't work or only the logo comes up
    do i need to install alcohol 120% on the pc that doesn't work?

    with virtual cd they have a smart virtual cd reader packet that works fine.
    does alcohol 120% have something similar.
    thanking you for any replies

    Have you tried to burn the CD with lower burning speed? This usually helps. For some reason some readers can't read cd's written fast. SO try to burn the cd with 4X (or something like that) to cdrw and try it.

    I think you will need alchol120 on the other machine because, i suspect, the drive you burned the image with is not a 2-sheeper?

    1) What pc game did you back up?
    2) What brand cd burner did you make the backup with?
    3) When installing Alcohol 120, "autorun" is installed on your pc by default.(blah)
    4) You can opt to use Alcohol 120 virtual stealth drive(s) as an alternative to play your backups.
