If you have linux on your machine, then the protection won't work. I mean you can use the copy of the cd in the linux os.

If you are doing it legally, then I can help. But if you are trying to run a pirated copy, then dont do it....

Anyways, I dont know what protection Oxford is using, so you need to find it out. use "Alcoholer" (<Google) and find out the protection the CD is using and\or post the error message\screenshot here.....

The protection used is CD cops. I also own my own copy the above dictionery. There are a lot others in this forum, who like me, would like to see some solution. The main purpose is that we want to save our original disc from scratches and all. Please give us some solution.

CD-Cops Decrypter v2.1 (32.8KB)

CD-Cops Decrypter is a tool that removes the CD-Cops protection from most CD-Cops protected applications.
