I have clean re-installed my OS and get the same results.

same here (exactly the same) bothers me (although the crack works perfectly so far) becourse i like the mini image method better than cracks ...what os do you use ,mickey? windows 2000 (like me)? or xp maybe its os relaited

That is a definite possibility. I'm not sure how the emulation works with 2000 vs XP (I use XP)
you may try searching generic starforce nightmare solutions in regards to windows 2000. I will look around and see what I can find. It may require a different utility or additional registry settings as opposed to what is required with XP.
Unfortunately I have no way to test anything. Both my PC and my wife's is XP Home.

I am running WinXP SP2 here

Hmm I'm at a loss for you Mickey. if I knew some more about your computer I might be able to come up with something.
Could you give me a run down of your set up and all your connected hardware?

I have an nforce 2 board with an AMD mobile XP CPU running 3000mhz with a Mach II cooler
768MB ram @ 400mhz DDR 2.2.2.11 Timings.
4x 36GB WD Raptor HDD on a 4 port rocket raid 0 setup giving about 140GB HDD space.
Chuck in an ATI X800XTPE for good measure and your laughing

See: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8463070

I was just running to bench on that run I run the above speed 24/7 and have a real XTPE now, not a modded card. I won't be upgrading anytime soon

I think your version of the game is the US/Canada release where mine is the European release, thats where the problem may be.

Cheers

EDIT: I have an NEC DVD-RW, but I unplugged it when testing the image.

Hi!
I am wondering about the need of an Mini-Image or a crack. Just use alc120 read-method by taking the rpms/dpm in combination with the wanted protection and it works perfectly from cd...

Bye

Jeff
PS: The most common way for doin´so is the use of RW´s ;-)
