if you have an "saturn" near you city you can bought it there since saturday

[B-Rabbit]

Nice, now we just need the game ;)

Thanks

[turdlet]

indeed. lol

[B-Rabbit]

This mini-image has been uploaded under the wrong game on GCW?

Football Manager 2006 is the game from SI..

And FM2006 is the German version of FIFA Manager 2006 from EA?

Or am I totally wrong?

[GLH]

B-Rabbit: Please be so nice and post this in the GameCopyWorld-Support Forum, so the GCW-Admin can fix this. Thanx.

Hallo lieber Gamecopyworld user,

Zum ärger mancher funktioniert das image nicht so wie es bschrieben ist dass man(n) es einfach in Alcohol einfügt und es geht :confused: . Aber es besteht die möglichkeit es so zuhandhaben wie Fifa 06. :cool: Schaut euch einfach mal die Beschreibung von Fifa 06 an und zwar die von dem Image das ca. 24,7 Mb groß ist !!

Hier einbeispiel:

Play Instructions:
Install the game - Full Installation.
Install Anti-Blaxx v1.16 and replace the original ANTI-BLAXX.EXE for the modified one from the File Archive.
Mount the Fm06.MDS CD-Image using the latest Alcohol 120%.
Play the Game without the CD!

probierts mal aus !! Und postet zurück !!

Ps: lest euch mal zuerst die anti-blaxx readme durch damit ihr gleich einen reibungslosen ablauf habt !!

Mfg Benny

[luckylefti]

Hääh???

Also bei mir läuft sowohl Fifa 2006 als auch FM 2006 mit dem Mini-Image.

Einfach in DaemonTools mounten und es kann losgehen.

[DABhand]

English only thanks

[luckylefti]

OK!

I used the Mini-Images only with Daemon-Tools and it works fine.

[HardcorZ]

I think it works with D-Tools....maybe with Alcohol 120% too but the Mini Image for NBA Live 2006 works fine with D-Tools (only) !

I hope the MI for FM 2006 works too, but befor i can test it for FM, i must have the Game :P

Does the MI works with GameUpdates ? I have read FM 2006 have many Bugs at the Moment (offical Forum).

Greetz
Hardy

[luckylefti]

I have tested it with FM 2006 and it works fine too!! No Problems!

Updates works for all games with Minimages too. Because its not a crack.

[Spymen]

I have make a Backup with CloneCD 5.2.6.1 and Liteon LTR 52246S,and it work's fine.

Read 4x, Subchannel on,Datareg. on,Def.Sectors quick on.
Write 8x, Weak Sectors emulation.

no Patch or other needed :)

[turdlet]

so our german friends, would you please clear up is this game made by Electronic Arts or Sports Interactive, just to be clear..

[JesseFibiger]

Ich hab mal ne Frage zu Anti Blaxx was muss ich machen um das Mini Image zu öffnen mit Anti Blaxx, hab das mini image auch schon mit alcohol 120% auf eienn rohling gebrannt

[Grumpy]

Keep it to English please, its an English only forum. ;)

[ricvol]

I have tested it with FM 2006 and it works fine too!! No Problems!

Updates works for all games with Minimages too. Because its not a crack.

How can it work fine when the game is not out?

[JesseFibiger]

[luckylefti]

[ricvol]

@Ricvol

[Yamba]

Danke

[caki]

Yo Yambo dude. English only please ;)

[turdlet]

it's not for the SI's game, it's for that EA manager game as far as i could understand but for ****s sake, USE ENGLISH IN THESE FORUMS PLEASE.

[Che]

can anyone tell me what I should do with the MI? should I burn it? I opend it with d. tools and now?

[frokje32]

I bought de fifa manager 2006 (easports) and i was wondering if there is a crack so i can play the copy.
The one provided on internte here does not work!!!!

[luckylefti]

Hello,

at the moment there are many Images for FM2006 and Fifa 2006 in the net that doesn't work.

So be carefully wich Image do use.

I have working one for both games as following

FM2006 mdf + mds = 6.887.142 Bytes
Fifa2006 mdf + mds = 3.346.650 Bytes

These works for 100%.

Note: I used the same as the one from GCW

[luckylefti]

O.K. Guys!

I received many PM with need for help.


You must be sure that no other Emulation-Tools like CloneCD or same one else is installed. Because this Tools are Blacklisted.
When you attend to this it works 100% with the MiniImages from GCW

[pain]

I have no clone cd or other Progs on the Computer, only Daemon Tools.
My Daemon Tool is green, all Options are on! When i load the image, it comes a error message,that i have a "Emulationsprog." on my computer (Daemon Tools????)
When i load all images (the midi img and the FM2006 cd #3 img) i become a blue screen and the pc is shutting down and restart !!!

[Eddie-Rodriguez]

i do not get an error message.
I only installed daemon tolls and mounted the immage.
whenn i try to start the game, the loeadin screnn is appearing for abouzt 3 seconds, but nothing happens.

co crashing of the pc, no message about emulation software.

Can anyone help me ?

[caki]

Does this happen with your original??

[Eddie-Rodriguez]

no, with the original it works fine

[caki]

Hmm interesting, never seen this problem before...

[DABhand]

Eddie, right click your my computer and goto properties (dont right click a shortcut of my computer).

On this window goto

Advanced
Error Reporting Button

See if its turned off. If it has thats one cause of why nothing is happening. As it cant show your error window if there is one.


If its on, then try reinstalling the game, and also check your computer meets minimum specifications.

[LoedD]

I have the same ****ing problem and the solution is very easy.
Just place a shortcut on your desktop, select it with your mouz and hold the enter botton for some seconds. This will cause the game to start for about 10 times. Mostly one of these starts is successfull.
This is the only method that works.

PS:I think the reason for rhis **** is service pack 2.

[Grumpy]

@God (also know as Loed) :p
This is the only method that works.
Or you could just use the original disc couldnt you? Surely that would be easier than your way of playing! ;)

[Rzeractor]

@God (also know as Loed) :p

Or you could just use the original disc couldnt you? Surely that would be easier than your way of playing! ;)

But then the genuine disc might get scratched! ;)

[LoedD]

Or you could just use the original disc couldnt you? Surely that would be easier than your way of playing! ;)[/QUOTE]

I meant without disc. :rolleyes:
But ur right, in this case I prefer using the orig. disc

[ivo junior]

FM2006 mdf + mds = 6.887.142 Bytes.. somebody may to give the link,please?(in a pm)?Thanks

[vinnie81]

safer if ya can not uze original disk, save's the scratching n stuff...:~)

[HardcorZ]

The Mini Image from Andre2779 works perfect, but the Game (Fussball Manager 2006 [German] from EA) is really buggy...EA wanna release a Patch soon.

Anti Blaxx is not needed.

Install the (Full) Game - Mount the Mini Image with D-Tools - Play (thats all)

Use DL Link from the first Post or search for it on eM*le (Search: Mini Fixed Image)

[antonioli]

But you are talking about mini image of Fifa manager or Football manager? :mad:

[Xibib]

luckylefti//
Could you send me the mini image for the FM2006 game?

[antonioli]

luckylefti//
Could you send me the mini image for the FM2006 game?

Football Manager 2006? :confused: I want too.

[psycco]

Hi guys,
i got a big problem with the FM06. I bought the game on my birthday in october, testet in on the original cd and it worked fine. But when i use the mini image of GCW, the game struggles, it takes very long for loading a match, or for the time between the days. It almost takes 4 minutes to get from one matchday to the next. I tried everything, reinstalled the game, tried other images, even updatet my graphics driver. The funny thing is, it is the same with Fifa 06!!! I can´t play a game, ´cause the menue button always moves by itself. Seems that the game discovered another gamepad, which is always pushing left ?! But my originals work. Are there other images for me to test?
Damn i dunno what else i should do, execpt using the origins... :eek:

[LoedD]

Is anyone able to use a mini image for Fifa Manager 06 with Service Pack 2 installed??

[zzzzzzzzz]

anyone have a real mini image for this game. I.E Football manager 2006.

[adriko]

Hey, look at this: http://www.sigames.com/downloads.php?type=view&id=357 First patch for FM2006 released on 20th October. So, does any one have the mini image for FM2006 version 6.0.1 ?

Sorry for my english, i'm learning yet ;)

I tried changing to Windows 2000 instead of NT and I get the following error: Please eject and re-insert the cd-rom, select ok and restart application...

If I put the original CD it works fine...if not well you know the answer, it doesn't work at all.

I have the image made with Alchohol 120% and mounted on Daemon tool 347...

ignorance or stupidity, neither of which are charming... and you're wrong, im sure some people have the original version, those that dont know not to mention warez as its stated in the rules, grow up

[GLH]

I have the RIP version (+-60 MB)!Bye, bye. BANNED

[SAFCMark]

can someone please tell me if this works with the updated version of Football Manager 2006!

[Xibib]

I followed instructions and works great! It´s working with the update as well! Good job!

I have another question, my friend tried to do the same thing but he gets this error message: "CD/DVD emulation software has been detected. Please disable all CD/DVD emulation software and restart the game"

He mounted the mds file with deamonT 3,47. Help please!

[Rowlesy]

i have downloaded a version of daemon tools but can't seem to open it can anyone help me with this e.g. send me a link for daemon tools or something

Cheers.

[swoosh3k]

Yes yes is works with the patch
6.0.1

sorry for not answering.


Also I only know that this works for XP prof, with sp2. as that is what i'm using. it might work for others too

[Clonz]

I just bought my football manager 2006 original but i could not burn it into image file using alcohol 120%..Could and experts out there enlighten me on how to do it?I try burning it into image but it kept reading protected sectors and had to skip it(is this normal?)...the overall converting time is taking very long...judging by the speed it seems be 10 hours(so i guess its not normal)...i try creating mini image of 2-3mb but it does not work as in i load it into virtual drive but fm2006 ask me to insert the correct cd ...so how do i convert the whole image file ...i read some of the posts above where some people had done it successfully...can anyone advise me pls

[singyourheartsout]

Having the same problems trying to burn an image. Could someone maybe post a guide as to how they were succesful? Cheers

[Carlowsky]

Mini image for Fm2006 pls. :(

[singyourheartsout]

There's one on game burn world.

I have this file but can't get it to work after mounting the mds file on daemon. Confused and a newbie to all this.

I still get - Please insert correct CD-ROM, select OK and restart application

?? Followed all of above!........original works fine! :(

[The-S-Owl]

Mini image for Fm2006 pls
Since this game uses the new version of Safedisc - 4.60.000 - you can not make a working Mini Image.

To the mods: I suggest to sticky one of the existing FM2006 threads, or we will be flooded by new ones in the next few days :p

[nessi]

Anyone know how to play the game without cd on a Windows 2000 please?

[swoosh3k]

The technique I posted is for those who have a CD image of the game and have installed it but can't play it due to the fact the game requires the CD to be in the drive.
If you have the original game CD the purpose of the what I posted won't help you play without the CD. This is only until a mini image is released



You need a CD image of FM06 to play to the game if you don't have an original copy of the game for the time being.

If you do have an original copy wait for a mini image or get a full image so you don't need the CD anymore.

[scaramonga]

I made an ISO image of the original (loaded into Daemon).........and this method wont work!

[dokok]

I figured it out finally...

On my PC I got it to work like this: (Anti-Blaxx or what Sweesh said didn't work for me)...

1. Make sure the compatibility is set to Windows 2000.
2. Get Daemon Tools 3.47 and mount your FM2006 image.
3. Get Vitrual CD HIDE 1.0.04 and launch it (hide all virtual drives).
4. Run the game.
5. Enjoy

i register my nick to the forum only to applaud U.

Ok, let's come back playing FM2006............ :D

[franksmule]

If you have the ORIGINAL FM 2006 disk make a image (mdf not iso/bin) with alcohol 120% newest version.
A full image as already said mini images dont work. It will take a while and will produce a ton of error messages within the first 100,000 sectors. After thats done mount the image and do the win nt thing as previously said.

Anti-blaxx or hide virtual cd isnt required aslong as you have newest version of deamon tools and alochol

[swoosh3k]

I made an ISO image of the original (loaded into Daemon).........and this method wont work!

use alcahol

What you are doing here is promoting the use of warez!!! A big NO NO here!

[manul]

I used mini image to play FM2005(5.05)
At that time i updated the D-tools.
And i also have the latest Alcohol 120%.
i heard many people uses antiblax to play this game?
i haven't heard of it. Is it better than D-tools or Alcohol?
Or just because it hasn't on the blacklist of those games giants?

[Bolsen]

It dosnt work!! Can someone plis help? with where 2 find programs, 2 how to get the game to start...tnx

[manul]

seemed my antiblax doesn't work too
My OS is still win2k
what's wrong?

[manul]

i've download the game two hours age and i have tried three ways to run the game(a: change the compatibilty B: use antiblax C: virtualDriverhide). But unfortunately they all dont work. I dont know why. Maybe it because my OS is win2000 (SP3).
So the last thing i could do is to suspend my real diver. and that works.
God bless!
Hope this could help some people just like me. And i feel sorry for those who have to suspend more than drivers.

Antiblax seems to have the same function, but to tell you the truth i'm not clear about how to set it properly.

[manul]

BTW, you'd better re-install the game. Not really install, but take the "repair" option.

[Grumpy]

@manul
i've download the game
Have you read the forum rules yet? I think not! You should take the opportunity to read them NOW as I feel you may not be a member here for much longer!!

[swoosh3k]

@swoosh3k

Then what 'exactly' does this imply!? :rolleyes:

*sigh*

a suggestion for those who have already bought a Retail
version of the same.


If they can't make one themselves, they are out their already. what I said, nothing more. nothing wrong with that.

He means your supporting warez issues with that statement..

We dont support warez here, so telling people they need an image if they dont have an original, is a warez issue.

[ArsenalFc]

Hmm is anyone having this issue too?:

Using XP Pro and I made an image file in alcohol 120% of my disc and then burnt that to CD, using alcohol again. When I use the backup disc it comes up with "please reinsert the disc press ok and try again". I do and the same thing happens. So I got a copy of Daemon Tools, mounted my image file, same thing. Changing compatibility means about 6/7 minutes after running fm.exe I get a "Not Resonding" reoprt on the game. Any ideas how I can play it without having to ever take the original disc out of it's box again?

[galatasaray]

I figured it out finally...

I'm new, but what is mounting a image.. I have downloaded all programs (Deamon tools / Alcoholic / CD HIDE).. but I don't know how to mount a image? And what image excactly meant? fm2006.bmp?

Thank for your help!

[Infest]

Ok chaps advice needed. I got FM2006 working without my cd by doing this:

Install the game
Go into the game folder (where you installed he game e.g D:Program FilesSports InteractiveFootball Manager 2006) and find the file fm.exe
Right click fm.exe and choose properties
Click on the tab that says compatibility
Tick the box that says Run this program in compatibility mode for
Choose NT 4 (service pack 5)
Apply
Make sure that the image is loaded on Alcohol or Dameon Tools

HOWEVER i quit the game and came back later to continue playing but it will no longer let me run the game. I double-click and it drives for a bit then nothing, no error message no nothing. I tried unmounting and remounting, i've even ran the repair but so far zippo.

Can anyone help?

[akvag]

Hello,

Can anyone provide guidance for a no-cd fix of Football Manager 2006 for aMac?

Appreciate the support and guidance in advance.

Thanks AKVAG

[martillox]

the game works fine for me with the antiblaxx and d-tools, you just have to configure antiblaxx properly, and there is no need to both be running at any time, the game will work anyways

otherwise, it would be better if a mini image is released

[-PET-]

You don't need a mini image, u can use the CD image you have

Click on the tab that says compatibility
Tick the box that says Run this program in compatibility mode for
Choose NT 4 (service pack 5)
Apply
Make sure that the image is loaded on Alcohol or Dameon Tools
Double click the fm2006 exe on the desktop and play the game!

I tryed this and it works. The problem is that i get kicked out (RANDOMLY!!) from the game saying that he dosn't have Virtual Memory. This is crap...i have lot's of space...lot's of RAM.

Anti-Blaxx dosn't work on me. I tryed, i reinstalled Daemon, Alcohol...everything, it just dosn't work.

[martillox]

sorry, antiblaxx do need to be running
take a look at the settings

[-PET-]

sorry, antiblaxx do need to be running
take a look at the settings

I can run the game winout Anti-Blaxx if i set combatibility to Win NT. But the game kick's me out saying "Football Manager 2006 is out of memory. Please quit and free up" (or something like that). I click ok...then the game quits.

With Anti-Blaxx i have set the game directory to FM.exe, protection : SafeDisc.

Also I clicked Mount Image in Device 0. Also tryed with DTools and alcohol. Dosn't want to start.

[ArsenalFc]

OK I've now got it going to. Here is a complete list of my exact actions after maknig my mds and mdf files.

Install daemon tools, then exit it. DO NOT LEAVE IT RUNNING.
Using Antiblaxx, enter the path to the fm.exe game and the .mds image file.
Set the security option in Antiblaxx to SECUROM 5
Minimise antiblaxx again.
Now with Daemon tools NOT running and Antiblaxx in the taskbar, right cick the antiblaxx icon, select the one at the top of the list and open the profile you've just named (default: gamename)
Double click the fm2006 shortcut on your desktop. It should produce the error "Football Manager 2006 is already running!"
Click ok on that to close the error message box.
Wait a minute. Game loads.

This has just loaded it for the first time for me. The problem I had was leaving Daemon Tools running!

[d3molisher]

I have exactly the same problem as "swoosh3k"! I do actually have the orginal but I just want to create a backup for my other computer. I have tried nero 7, cdclone within different modes, cd game protection mode and cd game mode as well. The disc is fine its an exact copy! however I can install the game from the backup disc fine and I can run the editor, but when it comes to me actually playing the game once the installation is complete it asks me to insert the disk, and the back up disk is already in, and then tried it with the orginal disc and it works fine. Its doing my nut in because I installed the data from the back up CD, lol. I have done the obvious and search google etc.. and there is nothing the only hope I have is this forum! Seems people are having the same problem as me. I have wasted about 10 cd's trying it all kind of ways and it just doesnt work. I also took someones advice about the alchohol prog and then changing the compatablity and it still doesnt work. If anyone has any idea's it would be much appreicated! Thanks Dan

[scottysohotty83]

right i sorted it im playing fm 2006 at last i aint gonna play it until i get the patch but si games crashes when i try to download it does any one already have the 6.0.1 patch they can send to me please scottysohotty83********co.uk thanx

[d3molisher]

oh yea!!! its works its alive!!!! nice 1 lads I got it to work using deomon tools and taking arsenal FC's advice!!! man I was doing this for about 2 hours and I did it! nice 1` Im going for a ciggi.

[scottysohotty83]

come on some one splease i really need this 6.0.1 patch

[ArsenalFc]

It would seem the common mistake would be leaving Daemon Tools running and/or not loading the "profile" thingy before running. Frankly I dunno which, thats just all I specified that others didnt. I reckon it's that Antiblaxx has to run daemon tools itself so as to mask the fact theres a virtual drive installed. Then again maybe running the profile executes the settings for the game. Who knows, moral is do both!

Scotty, have you tried googling for it? Someone must have it on a mirror somewhere!

[scottysohotty83]

yeah i tried google no luck the si games sight dl page is down so im fooked atm. up the spurs

Virtual memory is different from phsyical memory.
go to control panel -> system -> click the 'advanced' tab -> click settings under 'performance' -> click the next advanced tab -> at the bottom there is a place to change the amount of Virtual memory. Clisk 'change' and change the 'initial size' to to at least 512mb. prefereably about 768mb. max should be between 1200 to about 1500 depending on your system.

click ok to save settings, it might ask you to restart your computer. do it if it does

do you have to mount the mini image to daemon tools from while the CD is in the drive or is it saved tp C: when you install the game?

It is 768mb. FM2005 was working winout a problem. I think this has to do with the Compatibility option (cos is set for NT4).

Minimum VM should be double your actual ram
Max should be 3 times or more (but make sure you have the disk space to use it)

[scaramonga]

Tried everything, still getting the insert cd message

Yup!

So had I..........but I found it better to make an .mdf (Alcohol) image of your 'original' disk to the Hard Drive........then.........

Install 'Daemon Tools' (after install of game)....

Go to your X:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2006 (Dir)

Right click on fm.exe and choose 'Properties'........'Compatibility' tab..........

Tick to run in 'compatibility mode' and select 'Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 5)

Run 'Daemon Tools'.........and right click on it in taskbar.........select 'Emulation' then 'All Options ON'.....select 'Options' and untick 'Autostart' (you dont want it loading at every boot really?!?)..........select 'Virtual CD/DVD Drive' and then 'Device X:'..........'Mount Image' and browse to your .mdf image that you made from your 'original' disk........

Run FM from the Desktop (if shortcut has been made) or from the above directory!

Runs great!! :D .............no disk required anymore :)

depending on your system.

[geokou72]

I just bought my football manager 2006 original but i could not burn it into image file using alcohol 120%..Could and experts out there enlighten me on how to do it?I try burning it into image but it kept reading protected sectors and had to skip it(is this normal?)...the overall converting time is taking very long...judging by the speed it seems be 10 hours(so i guess its not normal)...i try creating mini image of 2-3mb but it does not work as in i load it into virtual drive but fm2006 ask me to insert the correct cd ...so how do i convert the whole image file ...i read some of the posts above where some people had done it successfully...can anyone advise me pls
You must wait about 30 minutes until the your reader complites 3% of the game and THEN he will read correctly.The first 20MB of the game they are the protection of game.IGNORE THE READ ERRORS

[akaspi]

Let's say i use Win2000, and when i click Properties on the "fm.exe" i have no "Compabtility" TAB.

I have mount the image, installed the fuul game and still it's require the CD.

What should i do ?!

[whateverandever1982]

Ok chaps advice needed. I got FM2006 working without my cd by doing this:

Install the game
Go into the game folder (where you installed he game e.g D:Program FilesSports InteractiveFootball Manager 2006) and find the file fm.exe
Right click fm.exe and choose properties
Click on the tab that says compatibility
Tick the box that says Run this program in compatibility mode for
Choose NT 4 (service pack 5)
Apply
Make sure that the image is loaded on Alcohol or Dameon Tools

HOWEVER i quit the game and came back later to continue playing but it will no longer let me run the game. I double-click and it drives for a bit then nothing, no error message no nothing. I tried unmounting and remounting, i've even ran the repair but so far zippo.

Can anyone help?

This is EXACTLY what happened to me, worked fine then when I quit and tried playing it again it won't load, anyone help?

[ArsenalFc]

Have you tried the method I posted earlier? If not heres a quick summary:

Make sure your image is .mdf format, from Alcohol 120%
Install Daemon Tools, mount the .mds image and EXIT DAEMON TOOLS. This means it should NOT be running in your taskbar at all!
Install and run AntiBlaxx. Right click on the icon in your taskbar and click on Settings.
Click the button next to Deamon Tools in the popup window and browse to the .exe file.
In the "Protection" box select "SecuROM 5"
Click the button next to the "Game" field and browse to the fm.exe file wherever you installed the game.
Tick the box that says "Mount Image", make sure that the circular box next to Daemon Tools to the right of this is selected, then click the button next to the Image box and browse to the mds file. Finally make sure device is set to Device 0 (assuming you didn't ceate additional virtual drives in Daemon Tools)

When all this is done, make sure Daemon Tools IS NOT RUNNING and right click the anti-blaxx icon, go up to Run Game and select the only one in there (default name is simply Gamename).

Now it will seem like nothing is happening. Double click the FM2006 shortcut on your desktop and an error box apppears saying the game is already running. Click the button to close that error message and wait a moment, the game will load. After that you should be able to run it from antiblaxx everytime you want to play.

I'm new, but what is mounting a image.. I have downloaded all programs (Deamon tools / Alcoholic / CD HIDE).. but I don't know how to mount a image? And what image excactly meant? fm2006.bmp?

Thank for your help!
Lol. If you don't know anything about computers then don't ask. We mean an CD image which you can use as an backup for an game, n00b.

[ArsenalFc]

Wait a minute, are you lot all using the MINI image????


As I said in the last 2, I am doing this with the FULL image of the original CD, not the mini image. If you wewre trying the MI, try using the full .mds of the CD.

[whateverandever1982]

Lol. If you don't know anything about computers then don't ask. We mean an CD image which you can use as an backup for an game, n00b.

[bob_geldof]

My dosent someone post on gamecopyworld the img??? it would save alot of hasstle and stop people like me :D asking for it

[ArsenalFc]

Because the full image is 770Mb and if it were available for download, connected to this thread on workarounds for Virtual CDs that would effectively be warez. We'd be saying to people "HERE'S an image of the disc, HERE'S how to run it, have the game without paying" whereas all we're trying to do is protect our original CDs.

It's simple, whatever disc you installed the game from, make an image in alcohol 120%. If you used an image mounted on a virtual drive, THAT'S the one you want to point anti-blaxx to in order to get it working.

I can't think why else it would work for me and that other lad who followed my steps but no one else

And whateverandever.......... WHICH mds is this? What size is it? If it's the mini image from this thread, that's the wrong one.

[whateverandever1982]

I've tried two, one is titled

FM06CD3.mds

The other is titled

ind-fm2006.mds

i have the same two as you the first is fifa manager and the second dosnt seem to work for me

[bob_geldof]

the imi can not be 770mb, has no one yet been able to braek it down to a smaller size?? i have two problems you see 1) my hard drive is nackered 2) i have maybe 200mb left on my hard drive both do not benefit from your fix. Other games i have require no cd and are varstley smaller 6-8mb, how come fm2006 is the exception?? or do i have to just wait until it is "extracted"

[ArsenalFc]

Right, the FM2006CD3 one you don't need. Whatsoever.

What size is the ind-fm2006.mds file?

Is this one you made yourself or has someone done the Alcohol work for you?

If you made it yourself did you choose that name or was it automatic?

I only ask because my ones called just FM 2006.mds, which is what the label of the original CD said.

Bob_geldof, i'll try to explain this ok.

The 6-8mb files you have obtained before are NO CD FIXES. They are replacements of the .exe file that has the whole section about checking for the CD removed, so the PC doesn't even think it has to do this at all. No CD files are generally warez, I don't know if they are frowned upon here or not, but generally I don't use them as they are a great way for people to transport viruses etc.

The way we're doing it now is different. We're taking an IMAGE of a CD. An Image being a single file containing ALL the information of the original CD so that when written to disc it's a clone of the original. Now the CD protection companies don't like this being possible, so they created a blacklist of programs used to run these images (Daemon Tools, Alcohol 120%, Clony etc). Now when you run the game it not only checks for the CD, but checks to make sure you don't have one of these programs installed. If you do it stops the process and demands the original CD again.

So we take our image file, and we "mount" it (that is loading it into a virtual CD drive so it acts like the original disc) then using Antiblaxx to HIDE the fact that Daemon Tools is installed. So now the game does it's checks.

Is Daemon Tools running?............No (we exited it already)
Is Daemon Tools installed?...........No (Antiblaxx is hiding it)
Is there a cd in any of the drives.......Yes (it sees your virtual drive, thinks it's a normal CD Drive, sees the "image" there, thinks it's the CD)
Is it the Football Manager 2006 CD?....Yes (your image is an exact replica)

and when that all comes back hunky dory it runs.

Hope that cleared things up for you.

[whateverandever1982]

What size is the ind-fm2006.mds file?


4kb

It came with a mdf file which is 700mb

Is this one you made yourself or has someone done the Alcohol work for you?

Didn't do it myself

It WORKED yesterday but then I quit and now whenever I try restarting it nothing happens.

[ikonify]

im the same

[ArsenalFc]

Did you do any of this "change compatibility mode" stuff being suggested? If so try changing it all back.

At times like this, if you've installed that FM2006CD3 image and changed the compatibility and whatever, what I would do, JUST to be certain, is using Add/Remove programs to uninstall the game, then reinstall it from your image. This is only because it's a 100% surefire way to be positive that the files on your machine are EXACTLY the ones needed, not a single file more, not a single file less, and are exactly as they should be, nothing altered.

Out of interest, what is the name on the image AFTER you mount it (i.e what does it say on that drive under "My Computer". Is it anything other than "FM 2006"?)

[ikonify]

the name on the drive is FM2006

[whateverandever1982]

Just says 'FM 2006'

And I have tried the uninstall and reinstall thing already, as I say, it worked yesterday then just stopped working when I tried to reload it up, this seems to be happening to most people.

the exact same thing happened to me works once and dosnt work again

[ArsenalFc]

Right so it would appear that the image file you have is correctly labelled. No problems there.

Have you ever changed the compatibility after reinstalling it?

Is the copy you have installed now exactly as it was the minute installation finished? i.e no other image mounted, compatibility mode switched off (double chack that one) no extra files, and set up so that Daemon Tools is not running but Antiblaxx IS running?

Finally if the answer to all above is yes, are you trying to run it by double clicking the shortcut, the fm.exe file in the install directory or through the Anti Blaxx icon?


I'm getting more stressed trying to sort this for you guys than I did for myself. Sorry I've not managed to get you up and running yet.

[whateverandever1982]

Have you ever changed the compatibility after reinstalling it?


Yep, tried it with and without it onto the nt4 thing

Is the copy you have installed now exactly as it was the minute installation finished?

Right now? Nope, the compatibility thing has changes, but I have tried a reinstall already and not changed anything and then it just asks me for the correct cd in the drive, with the compatibility changed nothing happens at all.

Everything else is correct

Finally if the answer to all above is yes, are you trying to run it by double clicking the shortcut, the fm.exe file in the install directory or through the Anti Blaxx icon?


I did what you said, clicked it in the Anti Blaxx thing then tried it with the exe.

I'm getting more stressed trying to sort this for you guys than I did for myself. Sorry I've not managed to get you up and running yet.


No worries, appreciate the help.

[ArsenalFc]

So if you uninstall, reinstall and follow the steps, it STILL asks for the CD?

[ikonify]

yea thanks for the help still not workin though i think theres somthing wrong with my daemon tools

[bob_geldof]

Bob_geldof, i'll try to explain this ok.



thx at least i now know, will look for that fix as i think that is all that can help me now thanks again.

[ArsenalFc]

Why not? DO you not have he 700mb image? If not I assume you have your original CD to have installed it. Make an image from that

[whateverandever1982]

So if you uninstall, reinstall and follow the steps, it STILL asks for the CD?

When I dont change the compatibility it asks for the cd and when I do it doesn't do anything, tried it both ways after re-installing

[Joe Forster/STA]

Guys, see http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=131341 for a guide on how to create mini images. If the result is still too big for you, you can cut its size down with ISODir: http://cdmediaworld.com/hardware/cdrom/cd_utils_8.shtml#ISO Directory (until it stops working :D).

[bob_geldof]

I installed fm2006 and then went to get a drink come back and my smashed cd tray drive lies on the floor with my daughter saying to me "sorry, sorry".
After beating her to an inch of her life :eek: (joke ) I decide that i will not buy a new cd drive just yet (as skint, thank you half term) and need some kind of patch.

And yes i know the worst luck ever does apply here.

[ArsenalFc]

Hmmmm. Weeeiiiirrrddd.

Right I know I'm repeating myself here, but I'm just gonna run through all issues thus far:

You've totally uninstalled the game
You've then reinstalled it
The image is mounted on the virtual drive and then Daemon Tools closed
Dameon Tools is then totally exited from right clicking the taskbar option.
You're loading up Anti-blaxx, and the settings are:

Daemon Tools: c:\**WHEREVER YOU INSTALLED IT\daemon.exe
Security: SecuROM 5
Image: Path to the ind-fm2006.mds file
Game: c:\**WHEREVER YOU INSTALLED IT\fm.exe
It's set to use Daemon Tools and not Alcohol 120%

You right click the antiblaxx icon, choose "Run Game" take the only option (the one you just made) and nowt happens?


You should see 8 cmd boxes appear, and disappear again quite quick. Then nothing happens. For quite a while, but if you press CTRL+ALT+DEL, then click on Processes, you will see the fm.exe process running, just be patient.

Duble check all thats right, if you have problems still, I have just installed it on my work PC to check my methods, and took screenshots of every step. It's working fine.

Just say the word and I'll post the screenshots.

[whateverandever1982]

All thats right but

You should see 8 cmd boxes appear, and disappear again quite quick. Then nothing happens. For quite a while, but if you press CTRL+ALT+DEL, then click on Processes, you will see the fm.exe process running, just be patient.


Nothing shows up in the processes thing ever.

[ArsenalFc]

Do you get the 8 cmd prompt boxes opening?

[whateverandever1982]

Yep, all that happens.

[ArsenalFc]

What are the specs of your machine then? That's pretty much what it does. I did have to wait a few moments till it opened on mine though. Tried restarting the machine? Or possibly uninstall, restart, reinstall, restart?

You're doin g everything right so 10-1 on it's some tiny little oversight catching us out (As I said, mine was leaving D-Tools running)

Double check your Antiblaxx settings are identical to this ("2.photobucket.com/albums/y18/IansStuff/5.jpg) screenshot

[whateverandever1982]

Yep, its the same, my specs are amd2400 i think it is and 1gb ram.

[ArsenalFc]

Right I would say just as an exasperated attempt to iron out ANY flaws, remove all 3 programs, then reinstall them all, D-Tools then FM2006 and then Antiblaxx. Double checkt he compatibility mode hasn't been "remembered" and it's not switching you to NT Version 4 every time you install it. Follow the instructions to the letter checking them by that screenshot. Restart every time you're prompted to and once more for luck when it's all done.

I just loaded mine up, exited and loaded up again so the repeat load problem won't occur once we get this sorted.

Also once you've uninstalled the game, delete the Football Manager 2006 folder. In fact delete EVERYTHING except the mds and mdf files for the install disc so that's all you have.

Do that and your system will be in the same state as my laptop last night and my work pc 20 minutes ago. Hopefully that'll iron out whatever is wrong.

I got it working using a different metod

1. Uninstall anti blaxx (i dont think you have to do this but with it on my machine daemon tools wasnt working)

2. Download the 6.01 patch

3.mount the disk image to d-tools

4.set compatibility to windows nt 4.0 service pack 5

5.run game

after 4 days of trying this finaly worked for me running the game on nt did not work without the patch

I uninstalled Daemon and now it wont let me re-install, says some drivers have invalid names and conflicts, now now it wont let me install it.

[ArsenalFc]

Sounds like theres some nastiness on your syste. I dunno why Daemon Tools would have reinstallation problems! Did you reboot after uninstalling?

If so try the same thing, but using Alcohol to mount it (and change the 2 antiblaxx settings accordingly). By all accounts it now seems it may have been D-Tools causing the aggro.


EDIT: - Now that I think about it I HAVE heard reports of antiblaxx and daemon not getting on well for some people, though I've had no problems. Perhaps this is the issue? Well try A120% and we'll take it from there mate.

[ikonify]

I uninstalled Daemon and now it wont let me re-install, says some drivers have invalid names and conflicts, now now it wont let me install it.


yep quit it there n it wont let me back on

daemon tools in the start up you can name your drivers

[whateverandever1982]

BTW, in my computer its still showing up as fm 2006 like before even tho I have uninstalled it?? And now with alcohol running it has put up a new drive? So now I have 2 mounted drives and the old one won't go.

[whateverandever1982]

Ok, I clicked on 'eject' and now it's gone back to saying it's my dvd drive.

Ok we'll deal with that in a second.

The virtual drive still installed is the Daemon Tools one. Possibly why it won't reinstall as the drive is clearly still there. This is the one with FM2006 still on it. You won't be able to unmount that image just yet, so what you need to do is take note of the drive letter and device number of the Alcohol 120% drive and change the settings in Antiblaxx.
Again I assume you need to make sure alcohol isn't running when you try to run the game.

Summarise - the changes needed in antiblaxx are:

Alcohol 120% path selected
"Device" drop down list correct (probably device 1)
Circular checkbox underneath the game path is on Use Alcohol 120% not Use Daemon Tools
Mount Image box ticked (of course)

good luck!


EDIT:- If you've ejected the image from the older virtual drive, you may be able to remove daemon tools properly now. (or reinstall it).

See if it's in the "add/remove programs" list. If so, try uninstall again

[whateverandever1982]

Now it says 'run time error 53, file not found'

I give up man, thanks anyways

[floyd146]

Well I've played the game a few days now and borrowed it to a friend and he went on holiday with the disk and I would download the crack so I could play it without cd.....

But I haven't got the CD so I cannot make the image!!!!!!! Can someone send me the file so I could replace it with my own FM?????

Thank you!!!!!

This won't stop until a 4mb or somewhere near mini cd image is released. Why has it taken so long? It's not hard to do so.

[ArsenalFc]

File not found?

That just sounds ike one of the files antiblaxx is pointing to has changed, just re-browse for Alcohol and fm.exe and see what happens

The solution is here and I WILL find it because now I'm getting annoyed at being outsmarted by a machine!

[wiggyuk]

Wait a minute, are you lot all using the MINI image????


As I said in the last 2, I am doing this with the FULL image of the original CD, not the mini image. If you wewre trying the MI, try using the full .mds of the CD.

That is probably where most people are going wrong I like most others are using the mini image posted in on the first page

[manuello7]

Yeah, I think that all the discussion about Sega Football Manager 2006 (which is about the 95% of this thread, except the first post and some others) should be located in a new thread, because people is getting confused.

[ArsenalFc]

No I think we're cleared up that this thread is about the Sports Interactive/Sega title Football Manager 2006 releasedon October 21st.

The mini Image I definately see being a cause of major fault, as is leavin D-Tools running while executing the game through anti-blaxx.

I would be interested in having other people who had troubles following my advice and see if it works for them, as so far it's got two of us up and running, and worked a third time on my work PC, but let one person down as well, so If it is working with everyone else we can look a little deeper at whats causing whateverandever1982's problems more specifically.

So anyone havign trouble, or even if you have it going, if you wouldn't mind trying the D-Tools/Alcohol (some results from both would help) and Anti-blaxx method, and report back with your results.

[Grumpy]

@floyd146
If you no longer have the disc then we can not help you! Read the forum rules, no disc=no help!

@manuello7
Why has it taken so long? It's not hard to do so.
Like you say, its not hard to do, so why dont you just do it instead of expecting others to do everything for you?

@whateverandever1982
Before uninstalling either Alcohol 120 or Daemon Tools always make sure to unmount any images in the virtual drives first! If you dont you will certainly have problems reinstalling! There is a article describing this problem on the alcohol site. ;)

[ikonify]

i think whats causing whateverandever's problem is the disk image he has seen as myself aand him have the same image and seem to have the same problems

[ArsenalFc]

Oh damn, that'd be my bad! I asked him to uninstall and didnt think that not unmounting would be an issue.

Sorry!!!

And Ikonify, I don't think his image has anything wrong with it meself, I really think the configuration of all the programs is the key to this one.

[whateverandever1982]

It wont let me re-install Daemon now, right, I have uninstalled everything again and will try it again later and follow these steps

Make sure your image is .mdf format, from Alcohol 120%
Install Daemon Tools, mount the .mds image and EXIT DAEMON TOOLS. This means it should NOT be running in your taskbar at all!
Install and run AntiBlaxx. Right click on the icon in your taskbar and click on Settings.
Click the button next to Deamon Tools in the popup window and browse to the .exe file.
In the "Protection" box select "SecuROM 5"
Click the button next to the "Game" field and browse to the fm.exe file wherever you installed the game.
Tick the box that says "Mount Image", make sure that the circular box next to Daemon Tools to the right of this is selected, then click the button next to the Image box and browse to the mds file. Finally make sure device is set to Device 0 (assuming you didn't ceate additional virtual drives in Daemon Tools)

When all this is done, make sure Daemon Tools IS NOT RUNNING and right click the anti-blaxx icon, go up to Run Game and select the only one in there (default name is simply Gamename).

Now it will seem like nothing is happening. Double click the FM2006 shortcut on your desktop and an error box apppears saying the game is already running. Click the button to close that error message and wait a moment, the game will load. After that you should be able to run it from antiblaxx everytime you want to play.


Instead changing the Daemon Tools bits to Alcohol, right now I am hungry tho.

[unleashedmaniac]

Hi, i have tried all the advice that has been posted but have the problem that when FM tries to load, an error message appears saying that the program has encountered an error and needs to close, when i click to see what data the error report contains and then technical information about the error report, it says the following files will be included in this error report:

C:\DOCUME~1\james\LOCALS~1\Temp\6bae_appcompat.txt

I would be grateful for any help, as it is getting me very stressed.

[whateverandever1982]

On the compatibility thing do I set it to NT4?

[ArsenalFc]

Yep, that all still applies, just with Alcohol not Daemon as you said. And do NOT change compatibility!!!!!!!

I'm off in a bit but will be home from work around 6ish and log back on to see if I can help more and *hopefully* get some feedback from others.

My mate has his PC at mine so I may try it totally from fresh on his, depends if I can be bothered to uninstall it all again afterwards cos well, sod him he wants the game he can shell out like I had to!


On a side note, to anyone asking us for the full image:- We PAID for this game outta our own hard earned. Now I'm sorry of you're disc isn't available at present, and while I accuse no one of anything, it's obviously very easy to make up some reason you can't use the original right now, but I don't think anyone would be happy to pay full whack then start helping anyone else get it free. If you bought a painting would you loan it out to others to do a tracing of? Hell no, it's your painting, it goes on your wall and people come to your place to admire it.

Sorry if that's harsh but it may keep this thread to discussion on solving problems, not a repeated request.

[noscript]

damn, are you not able to read? Use SafeDisc 4 Hider, MINI Images are not possible any longer since Safedisc 4.6 does not store the bad sectors in the first 3megs of the image.

[ArsenalFc]

Are YOU not able to maintain a degree of politeness? People have explained that they've tried every method to no avail so I'm TRYING to help them acheive it through the method I'm familiar with. People have said your way doesnt work, they've said mine doesn't, at least I'm on here trying to help people, so if you've got nothing more detailed or worthwhile to say other than "Use Safedisc 4 hider" at least get of the cases of those who are trying to identify the problem and help, and those who are just trying to learn for themselves.

Little bit of politeness goes far mate.

[JTanna]

Hi

I have football manager 2006, pre-ordered it months ago. Unfortunaetly i 4got the game at my friedns house who i will not see 4 weeks now :mad: can sum1 plz send me the image to JTanna60**********com.

Do i need to use a mini image or a full image??

Thanx 4 any help

[ArsenalFc]

Full image and

*sigh*


I refer you to not my previous post, but the one before. The one starting "Yep all that still applies". Re-read the final paragraph..........

[Bacon Butty]

Hmmmm. Weeeiiiirrrddd.

Right I know I'm repeating myself here, but I'm just gonna run through all issues thus far:

You've totally uninstalled the game
You've then reinstalled it
The image is mounted on the virtual drive and then Daemon Tools closed
Dameon Tools is then totally exited from right clicking the taskbar option.
You're loading up Anti-blaxx, and the settings are:

Daemon Tools: c:\**WHEREVER YOU INSTALLED IT\daemon.exe
Security: SecuROM 5
Image: Path to the ind-fm2006.mds file
Game: c:\**WHEREVER YOU INSTALLED IT\fm.exe
It's set to use Daemon Tools and not Alcohol 120%

You right click the antiblaxx icon, choose "Run Game" take the only option (the one you just made) and nowt happens?


You should see 8 cmd boxes appear, and disappear again quite quick. Then nothing happens. For quite a while, but if you press CTRL+ALT+DEL, then click on Processes, you will see the fm.exe process running, just be patient.

Duble check all thats right, if you have problems still, I have just installed it on my work PC to check my methods, and took screenshots of every step. It's working fine.

Just say the word and I'll post the screenshots.

Just registered to post a quick thanks, tried about 20 solutions and yours is the only one that worked! :)

Now, anyone any ideas how to force it to run in windowed?

Make a shortcut to the fm2006.exe and right click it and select properties. Now add to the end of the target line -small_screen -windowed.
So it should say exactly this in target:
"C:\Program Files\SEGA\Football Manager 2006\fm2006.exe" -small_screen -windowed or whatever your shortcut is

[harestyle]

you need to rename the .mdf & .mds to

"fm2006.mdf" and "fm2006.mds"

i had the same problems you did, but did the above and follwed the instructions left here previouly and it works now

huzzah!

[whateverandever1982]

BTW I am guessing after

Install Daemon Tools, mount the .mds image and EXIT DAEMON TOOLS. This means it should NOT be running in your taskbar at all!


I install the game and the patch before continuing

[FMfanatic]

Have you tried the method I posted earlier? If not heres a quick summary:

Make sure your image is .mdf format, from Alcohol 120%
Install Daemon Tools, mount the .mds image and EXIT DAEMON TOOLS. This means it should NOT be running in your taskbar at all!
Install and run AntiBlaxx. Right click on the icon in your taskbar and click on Settings.
Click the button next to Deamon Tools in the popup window and browse to the .exe file.
In the "Protection" box select "SecuROM 5"
Click the button next to the "Game" field and browse to the fm.exe file wherever you installed the game.
Tick the box that says "Mount Image", make sure that the circular box next to Daemon Tools to the right of this is selected, then click the button next to the Image box and browse to the mds file. Finally make sure device is set to Device 0 (assuming you didn't ceate additional virtual drives in Daemon Tools)

When all this is done, make sure Daemon Tools IS NOT RUNNING and right click the anti-blaxx icon, go up to Run Game and select the only one in there (default name is simply Gamename).

Now it will seem like nothing is happening. Double click the FM2006 shortcut on your desktop and an error box apppears saying the game is already running. Click the button to close that error message and wait a moment, the game will load. After that you should be able to run it from antiblaxx everytime you want to play.

This works well for me! I made the image of 752mb yesterday.. then I did exactly what you describe, only I let Daemon Tools run... Fm started one time without cd.. I quit and wanted to play again, and nothing worked... I uninstalled Daemon/Alcoholic/Antiblaxx.. and installed it again, now I did exactly what you mentioned here above and it works!! I quit FM and played again several times, and it's still working!! :D
Thank you!

[whateverandever1982]

Ok, I got it working, then I quit and tried it again and then FM loaded but only a black screen and then it came up with the 'pls insert correct' cd error so now it doesnt load at all, I give up with this now.

[ArsenalFc]

Right I THINK that may be related to the empty virtual drive Daemon Tools created.

Go to Add/Remove programs and have a little looksee if it's still listed

[whateverandever1982]

Its not listed

This is what it looks like, the dvd drives

http://img46.imagevenue.com/img.php?loc=loc260&image=3da_j.jpg

Just loads up a black screen as I say and every now and then will bring up the please insert the correct cd error

[unleashedmaniac]

Does anyone have an idea to what the problem could be with my earlier error, with the game crashing before it has even started and with the error about accomptant.txt?

[manuello7]

@manuello7

Like you say, its not hard to do, so why dont you just do it instead of expecting others to do everything for you?

Right, the method I had working stopped after I restart my machine and I had to reinstall the damn game, think it was cos of antiblaxx.

But I got it going.

I'm sorry I don't wanna fight with anyone in here. Peace out to everyone, as soon as I get my copy I'll try to make a mini image of it.

[ily]

hey [new to the forum!!]

i recently got fm 2006, what a great game and have been reading what u guys do to run the game without the cd. its great , so i did it, got the image in mds and mdf files and then loaded it on to daemon and ran the game after changing compatability to windows nt service pack 5.

so all was going great.....but then...

come Jan 2006 (in the game - specifically 6th jan if anyone else gets the same error) - the game shuts down after an error . its a windows error that creates a dmp file in the program files folder for the game.

now everytime i load my save up again, the error appears, exactly the same day. its really annoying because i cant get past the 6th.

does anyone else have the same problem and could anyone advise on what to do?

thanks
ilyas

[ArsenalFc]

Try turning of compatibility mode and using the link in my last post instead of antiblaxx

[unleashedmaniac]

Hi, ArsenalFc, i see you know what your doing, shame i don't,lol. Anyway, it's still not starting and just coming up about the program encountering an error and needing to close, the only difference in the error report are the numbers and letters changing (98fd_appcompat.txt). If you could give me any ideas to why this is happening i would be very grateful, i have tried reinstalling and still no luck.

[pulse89]

Hi,
I would like to know whether my save game in FM2006 (using the cd image) can work in my original FM2006 game (using the original cd to install) ?

Thanks

[ArsenalFc]

Pulse - Yes it will. Any tactics you had for FM2005 can also be opened by FM2006 but I dont think training routines can.

Unleashed, what O/S you on? I actually know a lot less than it seems, I just share everything I DO know!

Cheers for all the thanks guys, but can you use the reputation thingy? The little scales in the top right of the posts.

Just so that I get an idea of how many people this helped and as a form of "proof" that I'm here to help.

[pulse89]

Hi Arsenal FC
I'm using Windowx Xp Pro
By the way, I'm getting "your FM memory is running on low memory. Please free up some memory"
Does the computer tend to use more memory if I use the image file instead of installing the real game using the cd?

[ArsenalFc]

I really don't know, possibly. I've not had that myself, but try pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL, going to processes and closing anything you don't NEED open, like wmplayer or realshed. The less background processes running, the more memory with which to operate the game

[pulse89]

By the way, Arsenal FC
I'm also an Arsenal fan
Do you have any good tactics for Arsenal in the FM?

[glenbo]

yeh i second that lol,im a gooner also..and i cant get a consistent run of results no matter what i do. i was 4-0 against sunderland,and they did a 5 goal comeback after the 70th minute! i lost 5-4 lol

[ArsenalFc]

Erm if you can find the powerslave tactic from FM2005 that seems to work ok for me. 4-1 in the charity shield, 3-2 at Sunderland after being 2-0 down, 2-0 at Newcastle and 3-1 home to Bolton.

And sign Esposito. Costs around 3m from Cagliari, excellent right winger, and Mohammoud Diarra at £4m is a good replacement for Vieira.

[henkjen]

why is there just nocd patch for this game on gamecopyword ..............thats whats the site are for

[ArsenalFc]

If you READ this thred it is explained over and over again why there isn't. SecuROM have changed their security methods and as yet (i.e in the 4 days since the games been out) nobody has yet broken it open and written one. As soon as they do I'm sure it'll be distributed like wildfire.

[antonk]

Man, I've followed ArsenalFc's little strategy to get it working, but for some reason I get an error that says fm.exe has to close, sorry for the inconveinence. Anybody know what could be wrong? I've had this game since Friday and I got it working once, and then never again, all I get now is either please enter the right cd or an error.

[volley03]

hey guys.. i'm new to this forum but i read from page 1 to the last alr.. my game was able to start. but dunno till wad thing.. suddenly a pop-up saying cannot save fixtures.. then i press continue.. error came up again and close game..

ArsenalFC you rock! The antiblaxx f*cked my d-tools but with this new app you uploaded now my image works perfect, thanks man! i added to your reputation

to everyone: do not use antiblaxx with daemon tools!! or everything will be f*cked up after your first reboot, instead use Arsenalfc's little app

[Goesting]

Make sure your image is .mdf format, from Alcohol 120%
Install Daemon Tools, mount the .mds image and EXIT DAEMON TOOLS. This means it should NOT be running in your taskbar at all!
Install and run AntiBlaxx. Right click on the icon in your taskbar and click on Settings.
Click the button next to Deamon Tools in the popup window and browse to the .exe file.
In the "Protection" box select "SecuROM 5"
Click the button next to the "Game" field and browse to the fm.exe file wherever you installed the game.
Tick the box that says "Mount Image", make sure that the circular box next to Daemon Tools to the right of this is selected, then click the button next to the Image box and browse to the mds file. Finally make sure device is set to Device 0 (assuming you didn't ceate additional virtual drives in Daemon Tools)

When all this is done, make sure Daemon Tools IS NOT RUNNING and right click the anti-blaxx icon, go up to Run Game and select the only one in there (default name is simply Gamename).

Thanx a bunch ArsenalFC! After searching the web for over 4 days I finally got it working after I tried your method.

Do not use the mini-image from the first post of this topic (seems to be Fifa Manager). Use the ind-fm2006.mds.

cheers! :)

[WD13th_Rattler]

Tried all that and i am still getting the "insert correct cd"....

Done everything....from Daemon, to Sd4h, to that Anti-Blaxx thing....all turn the same result; insert the freakin' cd...

[loq]

Same here, WD13th_Rattler =,[

[lam_evil]

same for me....

it works now..... didn't have daemon still running..... cheers for the arsenalfc.....

Great job, ArsenalFc....are you italian ? :D :D

added to your reputation... :D :D :D

thx a lot. :D :D

[lesliedinho]

Ther's no need for a mini-image to play the game without cd. You only have to change the compatibility of FM.EXE to windows NT (right click mouse=>properties=>compatibility=>windows NT) You can now play the game without cd.

Enjoy

[WD13th_Rattler]

BINGO!

Turned compatibility to Win NT, shut off Daemon and ran it with Anti-Blaxx....worked like a charm!!!!! Thanks!

[martillox]

we warned you guys
forget about antiblaxx, you will regret it

[antonk]

Nothing works for me, I've use Antiblaxx, Daemon Tools, Alcohol 120, all those virtual drive hiding programs, I keep getting an error that says fm.exe has to be shut down. Anybody else having this problem?

The funny thing is, when I got the game working that one time, I didn't have to change compatibility or anything all of you are suggesting, I just had Daemon Tools and Antiblaxx on and ran the game through Antiblaxx without selecting to mount the image and I had Safedisc as the protection.

Hmm, I don't know if this could be the problem, but when I got it at first I installed the image on a cd and deleted the image, and then I got it to work and then it didn't work after that, I created an image off the cd that I made from the Image I downloaded, do you think that could be why it hasn't worked.

Guys, see http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=131341 for a guide on how to create mini images.

[lesliedinho]

Just follow the steps a couple steps above and you don't need a image, patch or even a program like antiblaxx. Just set the compibility of FM.EXE to WINDOWS NT.
