Football Manager 2005 mini-image

[physics]

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?

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:
Please login with administrator privileges and try again football manager.


But I am logged in with administrator!

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

Regards.

Log Off from windows, back to the user selection screen and press

CTRL+ALT+DEL twice slowly, you will be able to input a username manually


Here type in administrator and log in, hopefully there wont be any passwords involved.

Thanks DABhand.
But it doesn't work. I have 2 accounts as active users; my personal account (which also has full access).

And the administrator account (which of course also has full access).

When I try running FM2005 on either one of them, they both result in the same error message posted in my previous posting.

So the offered solution doesn't help.

Ouch :\

Then I cant think why it would give that msg if you have administrator rights, and even when using the administrator account.

Very Strange
