Ok, after trying the cracked .exe from many different sites, I know that theres something wrong with something other than the .exe. The error I keep getting is

Game.exe - Bad Image
The application or DLL ...\Mafia\ls3df.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.

I tried looking around on the CD's but couldn't find a thing. Is it possible for someone to send this file to me or has anyone else had this problem before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know why you can't dl from megagames but you could try the search on gcw's main page. You'll find what you need there.

The install I did was from a backup, I don't have any patches or anything, it was just a straight install, and I'm running Windows 2000 Pro, but I also tried installing it on my friend's computer who is running Windows XP to see if it was an OS problem but his computer had the same error.

There should be no need for a special xp fix. If the fix works for win2k it also should do fine for xp.

Drop me your mail and I will send you my win2k fixed patch.
It is worth a try!

Oh, I didn't get that friend thingy. I thought he was trying to backup the game again on his friends computer (other hardware..).

So, you are right BountyWarrior!
