football manager help plz

[jk14lfc]

hi, i would like to start off by saying that i have been searching the web for about a week to solve my problem and read a lot of forums and learnt a few things just so u know im worthy of ur help (hopefully). also if i break any rules of this site i am sorry as i dont understand fully whats allowed and whats not. i am having trouble with trying to play football manager 2006. i cant use the compatability change thing on fm.exe file properties as i dont have windows xp.

i'll start from the beggining.
1.first of all i downloaded the alcohol clone from a torrent site.
2.then i unrared the files and ended up with the mds file and i used magicISO to burn it on a cd. (only because alcohol 120% came up with an error saying 'empty disc' or summat like that)
3. i then installed the game and downloaded various programs to try and get rid of the 'please insert cd' problem.
i know the game has a safedisc 4 protection. however safedisc does not work as it says' win9x problem or i dont have the admin rights' when i try to install it.
i have probrably missed something(s) out here but my mind is so messed up by all the things i have tried i cant remember. i really want to play this game but i cant get round this problem so can sumbody plz help? thx
