True Crimes and D-tools
I am having a problem with true crimes an d-tools, i've installed tru crimes and than Daemon tools to run the game without cd. After select the safedic emulation I try to run the game this error mesage appears:

"This program performed an illegal operation and will be shut down"

My System specs:
Pentium 4 1.5 ghz

I've already updated all my drivers and stiil have same problem. Same thing happens with Alcohol.

I don't have TCSLA but are you using a nocd.fix on your desktop to start the game. Even though you have the game loaded with daemon tools I wouldn't use the game screen to start the game after you load with daemon tools. Click that game screen off and keep loaded with Daemon tools and use the desktop icon (a nocd.exe/fix) to start the game. See if that works.

hm. windows 98...
i hope u'll find an answer but first get rid of 98

sure? the newest drivers ?
directx? detonator? maybee 4in1 or something else?
win98 is "very" old and produces incompatibilitys which winxp probably kills

I got it running on w98se, havn't got nvidia card tho.

Here's what i've done, i did not invented this, i got info from other posts in fileforums and constructed this 'manual' lol.

U can do it other ways but let me just tell u how mine install did go.

1. Burn Disc's with CloneCD 4.3.1.9 'Protected Game' mode. (or higher version)
2. Installed game from cdr's, remove the disc's from cd-roms.
3. Used the latest Deamon tools 3.46 to mount cd1
http://www.daemon-tools.cc
4. put Deamon tools 'Emulation' to SafeDisc & after that the deamon tools icon should be green next to your clock in the taskbar.
5. Uninstall CloneCD, now if u have the newest clone cd uninstall will not be needed so i've read, but if u got the mesage 'Cd/DVD emulation software detected' thing u must uninstall clone CD. (or other out of date emulation software)
6. Run the game & enjoy (i didnt enjoy btw

)

Other way is (that i didn't do) without burning is to mount all discs CCD files, install the game & unintall all out of date emulation software. (even registration info, like with CloneCd uninstall, just to make sure)

So i'm not claiming this is the best way, but the way it works on my w98se machine.

that ^^is exactly what happened to me.i did everything absolutely as you did, and i got the same error, can you check whether yours is also creating an error in some bogus temp file (~something), can't remember the name right now, anyway until now i thought that it was because of my cd, but maybe it is 98se, i'm running it too.i'll try it on my xp and get back to you

i just tracked what happens when i start the game and this is it:
when i start the game, it automatically creates a couple of files in windows/temp directory and one of them is the one that causes the game to crash.it seems to me that that file might a part of the protection system.or not

I had the same problem - use the newest alcohol version, the newest! and then mount the cd1 image. it works! cd1 didn´t must be burned!
