help!!
I 've installed 5.05 patch and runned the image with daemon and everything seemed to work properly. I can play my previous games but i can't start a new one. It stops loading in "setting up manager shortlists". Does anyone know what can I do!?
Thx in advance

whats is the diff between fm2005.mdi and the one downloaded from GCW webbie in which the filename is FM2005CD2.mdf (3-4mb) and FM2005CD2.mds (486b)?
So in conclusion, i open daemon, set the folder, mount image and play right?
hmm just a question, if my exe file is the one from SIGames which is the 5.0.5.exe, will it still be playable?

Where did you get the mdi file from?

[physics]

i read through all of the posts and i downloaded the one from GCW and it says mds and mdf. i dont have the mdi. is there any mdi? or was it a type error?

I noticed most people (or everyone) get their Football Manager 2005 copy to run with the mini-image provided on the website.
Well it doesn't work for me. And I don't know what the reason this might has.


When I mount the mini-image with Deamon Tools (or Alcohol 120% latest version), I am getting the following message when I try to run the game:

Access Denied:

But I am logged in with administrator!

Any ideas on how to fix this...? Any help would be nice.
Thanks in advance.

Regards.
