Emulator detected! Please deactivate virtual drive and emulationsoftware.

[Veerle]

Hi,

I installed a Windows XP on my old portable for my litle girl to play
games on. I made images (iso) of all the game cds (legaly bought) and
installed poweriso to mount all of the games to different virtual
drives. Now she can play them without the need for changing cds
because she's just a litle too young to trust her with that. There is
only one game for which it doesn't work: "Dora danst te hulp" (the
english title is "Dora dance to the rescue") from atari. When starting
the game it says: "Emulator detected! Please deactivate virtual drive
and emulation software." Is there a way to get around this? Can I make
Windows XP think that it's not a virtual drive but a real one?

It's the detection in the software that's doing it, NOT Windows.

This is being detected by the game software.

You don't say which virtual CD you are using, as there are several.
