I've got the same problem. The fixed EXE-file doesn't work!
I mount the image with Alcohol 120% and install the game -> doesn't work.
I install it from the DVD-RW-drive -> doesn't work.
I install it from the DVD-drive -> doesn't work.
I try the crack from GCW -> doesn't work.
I try the crack from the image-file -> doesn't work.
I deinstall the virtual CD/DVD-drive and try it again -> doesn't work.
Everytime the same error ... "Please insert the original CD".
I use Win XP prof. & SP2. Any ideas, guys?
tnx
