@Conqueror: 1. Don't shout! 2. Read the forum FAQ, especially entries II/2 and II/4.

Sorry. I'm new. Didn't realise I was shouting. I just have habit of using colour. Won't happen again. :)

II-2:
What should I do if I have the wrong version/language of the game and I can't play/update it?
Do not request original files or registry entries in the forum! Instead of asking for fixes or language packages, contact the shop, where you bought the original game, or the publisher, for a replacement or other options.

My version meets fixed EXE requirements as stated in the nfo. Still doesn't work. Otherwise I wouldn't be posting. :)

IV-2:
What should I do if I want to play with my friends but I bought only one copy of the game?
Unless the EULA explicitly allows it, it is illegal to run one original copy of a game on multiple computers (at the same time).

I am trying to run game without using original DVD, as I'd like to keep it in a safe place, free from scratches. I also don't like swapping CDs from drive as I play different games every few minutes. :)

Grrr, sorry, I meant forum FAQ entries IV/2 and IV/4! :o You might want to read through the full FAQ anyway... ;)

OK,

IV-2:
What should I do if the cracked game doesn't work properly?
Try again, with the original CD/DVD, without a crack. If that doesn't work either, see above for suggestions on how to make original games work or how to report problems with original games to the publisher/developer.

Game using original DVD works fine. :)
A comment. Why isn't this question repeated to everyone who posts here? Why just me? Why did you assume I was the only one here who wouldn't know this? Simply because I used colour in my very post on this forum? :rolleyes:

IV-4:
What should I do if the game doesn't work properly with a crack?
If the original game works but the cracked game doesn't, report it to the forum. In your report, include, at least, the following information:- for a downloaded crack, exact name of downloaded crack (name, version and language of the game; type of crack; name of the group that released the crack), taken from the download page (alternatively, you can provide the URL of the download page);
- for a backup CD/DVD you made yourself, name and version of the CD/DVD imager/burner software, the read/write speed used and the brand of the CD/DVD disk;
- exact brand and type of motherboard, CPU, video and audio card and CD/DVD-ROM drive, amount of system RAM and video RAM, connection of CD/DVD-ROM drive (IDE, S-ATA, SCSI, USB/FireWire) (the latest release of Lavalys Everest should help you with collecting this information; unfortunately, the free Home Edition has been discontinued);
- exact name and version (or service pack number) of operating system (in the Control Panel, launch "System");
- version of video and audio card drivers:
- Windows 95/98:
- open Control Panel, launch "System" and go to the "Device Manager" tab;
- open "Display adapters" or "Sound, video and game controllers", right click on the name of the video/audio card, select "Properties", go to the "Driver" tab;
- press "Driver File Details", browse through the list of drivers and see "File version" below;
- Windows XP:
- enter the Device Manager:
- on the desktop, right click on "My Computer", select "Manage" and go to "Device Manager"; or
- enter the Control Panel, select "Administrative Tools", then "Computer Management" and go to "Device Manager"; or
- press the Windows-Pause key combination, go to the "Hardware" tab and press "Device Manager";
- open "Display adapters" or "Sound, video and game controllers", right click on the name of the video/audio card, select "Properties", go to the "Driver" tab;
- see "Driver version";
- short description of what you did (launch the game; enter this or that menu; enable/disable this or that setting; start playing this or that subgame etc.) and exact error messages, if any, displayed by the game.
Without this information, you may not be able to get proper help.

This section of FAQ is asking me to report a non-working crack to the forum. That is exactly what I tried to do. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what crack version and game version I was talking about when I reported this to the forum.
Once again, why isn't this question being asked to everyone else who is complaining here? Why just me? Simply because I used colour in my very first post? :rolleyes:
