Microsoft Games SafeDisc Windows XP Fix | |

Problem: When running a restricted user account with fast user switching under Windows XP, some games will not start correctly. The game requests that the original disk be placed in the drive, even if it is already present. To fix this issue, download and run the file below. This software will not alter or patch any component on your system, it will only change the startup state of the system component needed to start your game from start on demand (on game load), to start at boot (on Windows XP start). | ||

It sounds as though this "patch" does nothing more than change the settings for a particular service from start Manual to start Automatically. This is because services by default have permissions set upon them that they cannot be started except by an Administrator or the System account.
It's not clear which service this is. |
