V:TM - B: A newbie needing help!

[Vicius]

Hi, guys! I'm new to these forums as well as to this CD burning thing. I actually know absolutely NOTHING about CD Burning, so i simply don't understand things like image mounting, 120% Alcohol and stuff, so if you want to reply something that involves this kind of terms, PLEASE explain them to me .

The thing is, that I DID read other threads, and saw that some other people had similar problems to mine, but the answers they got were way too complicate for a newbie like me. So, this is my situation:

I recently acquired a copy of V:TM - B (not original, with HOODLUM crack), installed it without any problems. When i tried to run it, my monitor would go into stand by mode . I fixed this by making the game run in windowed mode, and I saw that once the game started, it asked me to insert the game disk 1 and continue playing, but when i closed the window it would go normally to the main menu, but once i clicked on the "New Game" option, that message would come up again, and this time, shortly after closing it, the game would simply close itself too. I've downloaded and installed the patch, as well as downloading the 1.2 no-cd patch from GCW, but the problem persists. My system surpasses BY FAR the minimum requirements of the game. Does it have something to do with running in windowed mode? I read something about having Debugging and Emulator programs running while launching the game, but I don't have any of these kind of programs whatsoever, since you can see, I don't even KNOW what they are.

Thanks in advance for any help .
