Black & White doesn't run!!! Please help me!!!

[Hassan]

Hi everyone, I'm using the german version of Black & White and even though I've put the german no-cd crack file "runblack.exe" in the game directory, it won't start!
After starting the game from the start menu, I am getting a black screen for a few seconds and then I'm on the desktop again, that's it, nothing else happens!
If I'm trying to start the game with the original "runblack.exe" I'm getting a notification to put the original CD into my drive!!!
What else can I try do???
