Can'T get it started

Hi guys,
Well done so far but there's a small thing in the way u mount the vc4 that i don't understand:
Quote:
I know that luck is the dominating thing but so it worked 2 ! times.
-start pc
-disable all virtual-drives-mount image in the GCW-Image in the physical-drive
The Point is that i don't know how to disable the last virtual Drive with Virtual CD ... I think there is a limit so that u need to leave one virtual drive aktivated...
... So I mounted the "new" image file (which I renamed to .vc4 in the right path of the new image folder) with my physikal drive, after I did the same with the Virtual one.
After that I could see only a black Window with the "Loading" mouse sign of Anno1701... I waited for around 35min but the window won't dissappear and the game aint started thou.
I think this is because I didnt disable the last virtual drive... and I also didnt know that u can mount a virtual CD in a physical drive

Advice for me ?
Thanks

PS: Could we (admins & users) make a compromise that there can be german language in this threat as long as there is a english translation for the others ? Many guys can't speak English that good so it would be a big help to get this problem solved faster ! ThxX

EDIT: I just mountet the image in my virtual, then the physical (one virtual drive still aktivated but un-mounted) and then the black screen with the loading sign appeared again. I controled my processes with the tast manager and i saw that the "anno1701.exe" was on "no response" status ... i got quite a lot of CPU capacity so it didnt freeze my computer so i just canceled the process structure.
Is it possible that u just have to wait some hours until the game gets started ? .. well, but more probably its just the fact that I didn't deactivate my last virtual drive, coz it don't know how to.
