Now I also removed daemon tools and recognised, that I still had &(§"$/( CloneCD installed. Removed this too. Rebooted. Re-installed daemon and changed the IDs of the miniport driver and device. Mounted image. And it worked!!!

So I am not sure, if it was the (re-)installation, the new ids or the removal of CloneCD. But finally I can play w/o. CD until a No-CD arrives.

I don't quite get it, could you explain in more detail pls ? I don't have CloneCD(the program, right ?)but I don't quite get how to changed the IDs of the miniport driver and device, could you tell me more about it ?

If you install daemon tools 3.47 on fresh system (i.e. after uninstalling and rebooting), the installer presents you a dialog with those values during installation. The default values are something like d347prt and d347sys. Just change those strings to anything you like.

it still doesn't work
I change it to driver1 and minport (the name) but it still said C++ runtime error when I run the game

same here ...
both of this

* Vampire - Bloodlines [ENGLISH] No-CD/Fixed Image
* Vampire - Bloodlines [ALL] No-CD/Fixed Image
I also changed the drivers name > no effect
nothing worked

isnt anyone listening to me? clonecd is the reason. i got only alcohol installed, no daemon no ccd. i created an image with safedisc 2/3 profile, works perfectly. no problem here?!

i think bierhuettls right. i kept getting the emulation detected error message (even with original game disks), then i uninstalled clonecd and the game works fine.

then i tried the 2 files from gamecopyworld, they both worked for me. tried reinstalling clonecd and now nothing works again (either the originals, or using either of the little images)

im mounting those files using daemon tools, so it seems vampire has no problem with that program. i dont have alcohol at all, so cant vouch for that

Ok i'm new to this site, so i don't exactly know what i'm doing. I was able to mount the first CD onto Daemon but when it asks for the second disc to be insterted i'm not able to mount the second discs image, and i'm fairly sure i'll have the same problem with the third disc. Can anyone give me a detailed explanation as to how you were able to get this game to run?

I've never had cloneCD installed < so that eliminates it as a possible conflict

I've uninstalled alcohol and only had deamon tools 3.47 running... installed and mounted cd1 with deamon tools. Game starts up, the startup images appears and goes off... then the monitor flicks (changes resolution) and a 'grey' or 'brown' screen appears for around 5seconds... then the monitor goes back to the desktop without any error message.

I've also tried with the latest version of alcohol, same thing happens. I've tried both the available image files from gamecopyworld, both do the same thing.

I've uninstalled, reinstalled all programs, tried all combinations suggested. Changing driver names etc etc... nothing works.

Hopefully a simple old fashioned no-cd crack appears soon
