using the search button ... perhaps searching for 'anti-blaxx' or 'antiblax' might yeild results, i remember seeing quite a detailed thread with screenshots on how to do it.. i think it was on the moto gp3 thread.. if in doubt use the search!
'i am so lost' sounds both pathetic and lazy (no offense intended)

I made a backup of Winter Assault CD1 using Alcohol 120% that works perfectly.

Offense taken, because I spent 9 hours researching everything today and get called lazy, as if I didn't use the search...either way, unless you have actual useful information, don't post.

Think of it this way: If it took you 9 hours to learn all this, how long did it take me to learn everything I know in this area?? Knowledge comes at a price, and it isn't going to be served to you on a golden platter by a half naked chick (tho I wish it were :D)

why that no ppl upload the mini image to share with gamecopyworld user?
it will be more appreciate if somebody do so..... :rolleyes:

Well, I have no clue if it works for other people, so why should I upload something that doesnt work??

Buy the game already you lazy pirate.

And you too.

tis my right as an american to take stuff for free and not give a ****e about the person I took it from. ^^

Boo-ya! Its working for me. All I had to do, finally, is use the most recent Alcohol to mount the first disk image and set the game binaries to windows 2000 compatibility. Who woulda thought?

Thanks for the tips, guys!

offense taken eh.. 9 hours... hmm, took me 30 seconds to find this

really really difficult, so perhaps you are quite simply lazy, either way i really dont care, so dont take offence, just read the bloody thing and then perhaps you wont look like an arrogant prick expecting (as rendari says) everything on a silver/golden platter

Lol, I already tried that method, was pasted way back in the beggining of the thread. So don't go boasting how easy it is, when it doesn't work for all people.


- Wait...how do I change the binaries to 2000 compat mode? it doesn't have the option

Heh. I'm not off my rocker, huh.

I got this from an earlier post which suggested setting the compatiblity to the shortcut, which I couldn't. I would have posted more details but it was late and my eyes were blurry from playing...

Ok, to change the compatibility setting (this is from memory, so please bear with me. I am at work and don't have access to a windows machine.):

First, find the application directory, usu C:/Program files/THQ/Dawn of War (I think). In this directory there are four binaries, the two Dawn of War binaries and the two Winter Assult binaries. By binaries I mean the exe files. Right click on the WA exe's and among the tabs <i>should</i> be a compatibility tab. If not, its at least on one of the available tabs. There is a drop down menu for which OS. Choose Windows 2000. I am guessing the security check that is preventing Alcohol from working doesn't work on Win 2000 so when you set the compatibility, it doesn't try it. Or not. Heck if I know, it just works.

Remember to use the original DoW exe and the most recent Alcohol. I didn't need to set any of the emulation options on Alcohol either. I didn't try it with the mini image but I have been using an image created with BlindWrite, if that makes a difference.

I really hope this helps some of those who are stuck. I know I was sweating over it for too long! Having to switch out that CD w/o a backup can be a real pain in the posterior. :D

BTW, WA is nice, but, actually, I prefer DoW. (*ducks head*)

Um...I wasn't directing that rant at you, but the person before my post, saying how easy it is, when 90% of the people ere still can't get it to work.

You called them binaries...that confused me, I already put them in 2000 compat mode before! didn't fix anything :P

i meant it was easy to find (the thread), as with all pc's due to the nature that they all aren't the same configuration, some things work for some people, some things dont, perhaps you're doing something wrong, perhaps your image is bad, the only person who can really tell us that is you, and you arent exactly helping yourself.. for instance only now do u say u already tried the method stated in that post, or the compatability mode thing... we aren't mind readers
