Help with Total Club Manager 2003?

[finr]

Hi all...

I installed TCM2003, and tried Immersion's original patch, their crack fix and Razor's patch - with all of them I can't start the game. The CD is being simulated using Daemon tools, but after presenting me the main menu for 1 or 2 seconds the curser changes to that standard Windows curser and then I'm back on my windows desktop again - no error message or whatever...

I checked, I'm running DirectX 8.1 (WinXP) and my gfx card (RivaTNT) is supported ...

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanx,
