Suffice to day that the image does not work for me at least.

I can use Heroes of world war II and Medieval Lords games with this method and a good image file, but not Stronghold 2 or trackmania for that matter.

All optical drives were off and reg tweaks done to hide D-Tools.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Did you follow ALL the instructions Mickey?
This includes:
Using starforce nightmare to disable your optical drives
making the registry change that is required.
(you have to make a second registry change if you have the absolute latest alcohol 120% installed)
mounting it with daemon tools, NOT alcohol 120%?

Just a note guys: For anyone who wants this, it is now up on GCW so feel free to check their latest updates. Follow the instructions and it SHOULD work. These steps have been used for other games that use the same protection, and I've verified it at least working on my machine. I can't see any reason it shouldn't work on yours unless starforce nightmare isn't disabling your drives properly. If this is the case you might want to grab anti-blaxxx and try that (a similar program)
