damn, it WORKS!!! Since Update to 1.1 Tages Protection is removed!!! :rolleyes:

Vista it's guilty for official protection removal. Most of the protections(Securom, Starforce, Tages) are conflicting with Vista protection. :D

Update 1.1 + crackfixed by Absurd works fine on WinXP-SP2 :D
finished the game without errors...

Please....help Me
 

PLease....could somebody give me any advice...

Problem No1: I cannot install the patch 1.1 . If i try my pc wont run anymore. And the program gives no reply

Problem No2: If i replace the game exe with the crack.. there comes a failure message: Der Prozedureinsprungspunkt "DecodeImage" wurde in der DLL "hc.dll" nicht gefunden.

Help?

it takes a long time until the patch sends a reply.

never heard of securom conflicting with vista...

Because Securom on the disc is the conflict :D it is a cross platform conflict.

What is securom...??

But i use win xp...

Securom is a professional CopyProtection, like Safedisc, StarForce, Táges, ProtectCD, ...)
Take a look here for more infos: http://www.cdmediaworld.com/hardware...tections.shtml

hc.dll contains the solid shield protection. seems like the patch you installed either replaced the dll only or the exe, but not both.

thank you killer..
and how can i solve this problem..

Here in the forum people tell that the game works with this crack?

Deinstall the game, reinstall the game, apply the 1.1 patch (could take up to a half hour until the patch react depending on your machine).

After that, apply the crack.

Is there a way to remove tages from the Simon 4 installation program?
Game installation is impossible on modern systems (Vista and newer) because it installs old Tagès drivers and gives a compatibility error/installation abort. U have to manually install the updated version of that crap (http://www.tagesprotection.com/main.htm) every time you want to install the game -_-
