Cant install or play Max Payne 1 on Windows 10

Max Payne is one of many  disc based games that use SafeDisk copy protection. MS have an hatred for the driver used

by SafeDisk and have built a 'feature' into Win10 that prevents disc based games that use SafeDisk from launching.

More details in my post at   ---this thread---

Most affected games will install, but some will be blocked because they go through a disk check during install.

With these games you can sometimes install the game if you copy all files from the disc to a new folder on your desktop and

run the games setup from there.

• To run the game after you install it you will need to use a noCD fix/hack to circumvent MS's DRM Blocking 'feature'.

Use the fix that suits the version you have patched the game to (it's always best to patch the game to as high a version as possible)...

Max Payne fix

[EDIT: I just remembered. I bought this game from our local thrift shop for $1-  a couple of months ago, but have only played it

for a few minutes to test.

I don't recall having to copy the files from disk for this particular game, but the game is is patched to 1.05 and

running using the 1.05 version noCD fix . ]

• If you do a search you may also find a community patch that fixes things left undone by Rockstar.

These often contain a noCD fix as well.

when i load up my game on my cd player it appears that the software is not capable or something

Hey pedrovarunca,

Any error messages or would it just simply not budge?

Let me know.
