Right click fm.exe and choose properties
Click on the tab that says compatibility
Tick the box that says Run this program in compatibility mode for
Choose NT 4 (service pack 5)
Apply
Make sure that the image is loaded on Alcohol or Dameon Tools

HOWEVER i quit the game and came back later to continue playing but it will no longer let me run the game. I double-click and it drives for a bit then nothing, no error message no nothing. I tried unmounting and remounting, i've even ran the repair but so far zippo.

Can anyone help?

This is EXACTLY what happened to me, worked fine then when I quit and tried playing it again it won't load, anyone help?

Have you tried the method I posted earlier? If not heres a quick summary:

Make sure your image is .mdf format, from Alcohol 120%
Install Daemon Tools, mount the .mds image and EXIT DAEMON TOOLS. This means it should NOT be running in your taskbar at all!
Install and run AntiBlaxx. Right click on the icon in your taskbar and click on Settings.
Click the button next to Deamon Tools in the popup window and browse to the .exe file.
In the "Protection" box select "SecuROM 5"
Click the button next to the "Game" field and browse to the fm.exe file wherever you installed the game.
Tick the box that says "Mount Image", make sure that the circular box next to Daemon Tools to the right of this is selected, then click the button next to the Image box and browse to the mds file. Finally make sure device is set to Device 0 (assuming you didn't ceate additional virtual drives in Daemon Tools)

When all this is done, make sure Daemon Tools IS NOT RUNNING and right click the anti-blaxx icon, go up to Run Game and select the only one in there (default name is simply Gamename).

Now it will seem like nothing is happening. Double click the FM2006 shortcut on your desktop and an error box apppears saying the game is already running. Click the button to close that error message and wait a moment, the game will load. After that you should be able to run it from antiblaxx everytime you want to play.

This works well for me! I made the image of 752mb yesterday.. then I did exactly what you describe, only I let Daemon Tools run... Fm started one time without cd.. I quit and wanted to play again, and nothing worked... I uninstalled Daemon/Alcoholic/Antiblaxx.. and installed it again, now I did exactly what you mentioned here above and it works!! I quit FM and played again several times, and it's still working!!
Thank you!

AntiBlaxx show me this msg
1) [An error occured during loading the settings!All settings are restored.]
2) [Anti-Black generates a backup automatically. Pleased ..............]
3) [Run-time error '5': Invalid procedure call or arguement.]

what exactly happen?

damn, are you not able to read? Use SafeDisc 4 Hider, MINI Images are not possible any longer since Safedisc 4.6 does not store the bad sectors in the first 3megs of the image.

Are YOU not able to maintain a degree of politeness? People have explained that they've tried every method to no avail so I'm TRYING to help them acheive it through the method I'm familiar with. People have said your way doesnt work, they've said mine doesn't, at least I'm on here trying to help people, so if you've got nothing more detailed or worthwhile to say other than "Use Safedisc 4 hider" at least get of the cases of those who are trying to identify the problem and help, and those who are just trying to learn for themselves.

Little bit of politeness goes far mate.
