Ok so i uninstalled soulstorm since it wouldn't start and then reinstalled. Only issue i had was i had to put the disk into another laptop and then copy/paste the files onto my flashdrive so i could install it. Is there a way to set the game up so i don't need to run my disk to play it? all the other DoW games up to dark crusade automatically do this. All advice/help/suggestions are welcome. Thank you in advance everyone.
Ok tech Gurus

Technically no because it's a DRM thing.
However you can shove the DVD in another computer and make an .ISO of it. Then transfer the .ISO file to the laptop and mount it using Daemon Tools (if Win7) or Windows Explorer (if Win8)

ok so if i understand this correctly. Doing what you've said/posted this should allow me to play my game without needing the disk right?
I want to make sure I've got this correct.

In derp terms what this does is create an imaginary copy of your DVD that an imaginary DVD drive will load on your primary gaming device. The game will see this and say "herpaderp the game disk is in the DVD drive YAY!"
It will take up between 500mb and 4GB of HDD space depending on the size of the files on the Soulstorm DVD. This method is not illegal assuming you have purchased a retail copy of the Soulstorm game; it is however illegal if you give this .ISO file to anyone else.

The you're sweet. Just don't share the .ISO files (illegal in the same way sharing MP3's is)
