go on programs- sports interactive and right click on fm.exe, click properties and change the compatibility, tell me if this works.

I have a problem with FM2006 using win2000.

Everything starts up fine, use anti-blaxx. No problem at all.

But when the game is on; Straight under 'Player Name' you are suppose to see his position, for example 'Defensive Midfielder', but get some kind of numeric-code instead, like '12134235'. Most annoying.

I installed it on my brothers winxp and he had not my problem, so it is not the installation (I have re-installed and tried the latest patch) or image-file that is the problem.

Can anyone PLEASE help me???

Thanks,
Robert

Worked for my 2 PCs (Win XP SP1 and SP2).

Thanks!!!

can someone please answer in private message how i get the mini image?

Thanks

How Do i Make a Copy?!?
 

:rolleyes: I brought the original Football Manager 2006 yesterday and spend £30 on it! can someone explain to me how i can make a back up copy of it so i don't damage the original....:confused:

How to backup FM2006 using Alcohol 120%
 

-> Insert the FM2006 CD in your drive (obvious :D ).
-> Run Alcohol (if you have it).
-> On the left-hand panel click on Image Making Wizard and the wizad opens.
-> Select the drive where there is FM2006 and select your prefered Read Speed (by default Maximum).
-> Tick Skip reading errors and leave the others unticked.
-> Click Next>.
-> Name the image, select where you want to save it and Start making the image.

Do i have to burn this image onto a cd then run it from my cd drive?

Could someone please PM me some info about the mini-image? A link would be nice =)

if someone has an image or crack, can they upload it to Game burn/copy world?

No
 

NO, because the scope of the Step by Step guide is to avoid inserting the CD in drive.:p

So when you've done the full image of FM2006 then just mount it with Alcohol or Daemon Tools.

(remember to change the compatibility of fm.exe)

i followed the steps "Step by step guide to load FM2006 without your CD in drive" but i still cant get my game running. it says insert cdrom. i tried all the methods but still cant work for me :(

just to check, my cd has these folders and files inside: MAC and PC

and the following files: 0000001.tmp, 00000003.tmp, autorun, autorun, drvmtg.dll and secrv

you guys have the same as well?
