OK a little discovery, go into your virtual cd's folder, and double click your fixed image that you downloaded from GCW. When it opens it has a bunch of settings you can change, but specifically in "Autorun Program" point it to your anno1701.exe in its official install directory. Now just to let you now as of posting this I have not been able to play, and additionally as of this post I have not been able to get into the game at all since my last post in which I mentioned that it was finally working. But what this new thing allows, is anno loads, but it gets stuck at a white screen but it DOES NOT FREEZE YOUR COMPUTER, forcing you to reboot. So I believe this is small progress.

Ok I am redoing the whole method and changing a couple things, as soon as I find out if it works or not ill repost.
