I'm having a minor (but annoying) problem playing HL: Opposing Force on 
my system, which includes a Creative CDRW 4224.

The game CD includes copy protection, which the 4224 seems to take 
forever (2 minutes or so every time I start a game) to verify.

While I can go and get a cup of coffee waiting for a game to begin, it 
gets old after a while. The game will eventually start, but only after 
the 4224 has finally "chugged" through the copy protection, a task that 
seems to take far longer than it should.

I'm running the latest firmware on the 4224 -- is there another update 
that will allow it to handle/authorize copy protection schemes any 
better?
