If you no longer have the disc then we can not help you! Read the forum rules, no disc=no help!

@manuello7

Why has it taken so long? It's not hard to do so.

Like you say, its not hard to do, so why dont you just do it instead of expecting others to do everything for you?

@whateverandever1982
Before uninstalling either Alcohol 120 or Daemon Tools always make sure to unmount any images in the virtual drives first! If you dont you will certainly have problems reinstalling! There is a article describing this problem on the alcohol site.

Oh damn, that'd be my bad! I asked him to uninstall and didnt think that not unmounting would be an issue.

Sorry!!!

And Ikonify, I don't think his image has anything wrong with it meself, I really think the configuration of all the programs is the key to this one.

[whateverandever1982]

It wont let me re-install Daemon now, right, I have uninstalled everything again and will try it again later and follow these steps

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.

Instead changing the Daemon Tools bits to Alcohol, right now I am hungry tho.

Hi, i have tried all the advice that has been posted but have the problem that when FM tries to load, an error message appears saying that the program has encountered an error and needs to close, when i click to see what data the error report contains and then technical information about the error report, it says the following files will be included in this error report:

C:\DOCUME~1\james\LOCALS~1\Temp\6bae_appcompat.txt

I would be grateful for any help, as it is getting me very stressed.

[whateverandever1982]

On the compatibility thing do I set it to NT4?

[whateverandever1982]

BTW I am guessing after

Install Daemon Tools, mount the .mds image and EXIT DAEMON TOOLS. This means it should NOT be running in your taskbar at all!

I install the game and the patch before continuing

[whateverandever1982]

Ok, I got it working, then I quit and tried it again and then FM loaded but only a black screen and then it came up with the 'pls insert correct' cd error so now it doesnt load at all, I give up with this now.

[ArsenalFc]

Right I THINK that may be related to the empty virtual drive Daemon Tools created.

Go to Add/Remove programs and have a little looksee if it's still listed

[whateverandever1982]

Its not listed

This is what it looks like, the dvd drives

http://img46.imagevenue.com/img.php?...mage=3da_j.jpg

Just loads up a black screen as I say and every now and then will bring up the please insert the correct cd error

[harestyle]

dude i dont think it works with the patch

[Joe Forster/STA]

@manuello7: If you don't have the original game then don't ask for help on this forum; that's forum rule #1!

[antonk]

Man, I've followed ArsenalFc's little strategy to get it working, but for some reason I get an error that says fm.exe has to close, sorry for the inconveinence. Anybody know what could be wrong? I've had this game since Friday and I got it working once, and then never again, all I get now is either please enter the right cd or an error.

[volley03]

hey guys.. i'm new to this forum but i read from page 1 to the last alr.. my game was able to start. but dunno till wad thing.. suddenly a pop-up saying cannot save fixtures.. then i press continue.. error came up again and close game..

[ArsenalFc]

Yep, that all still applies, just with Alcohol not Daemon as you said. And do NOT change compatibility!!!!!!!

I'm off in a bit but will be home from work around 6ish and log back on to see if I can help more and *hopefully* get some feedback from others.

My mate has his PC at mine so I may try it totally from fresh on his, depends if I can be bothered to uninstall it all again afterwards cos well, sod him he wants the game he can shell out like I had to!


On a side note, to anyone asking us for the full image:- We PAID for this game outta our own hard earned. Now I'm sorry of you're disc isn't available at present, and while I accuse no one of anything, it's obviously very easy to make up some reason you can't use the original right now, but I don't think anyone would be happy to pay full whack then start helping anyone else get it free. If you bought a painting would you loan it out to others to do a tracing of? Hell no, it's your painting, it goes on your wall and people come to your place to admire it.

Sorry if that's harsh but it may keep this thread to discussion on solving problems, not a repeated request.
