When I try to launch the game, it gives me following error:



Then, when I look closer, I see the following text:





And at the end:

With all that information, could somebody help me plz or was it not necessary to put all this on the forum?

[TippeX]

well from the info, it caused a memory exception area somewhere in kernel32, so conclusion would be that the exe's api calls are fucked (bad params passed), bad rebuild probably, or not designed for the os you're running on the txt file is really an xml file too.. good old microsoft

@Lord marf
You havent actually told us if the game works, with the update but 'without' using the NoCD crack, in other words does it work when you use the original disc to play?

[Lord marf]

Yes, it works with the originals without the no-cd placed on the exe.

Isn't it strange that the crack is only 2.33 MB and the exe more than 5 MB? Just a question

[TippeX]

naw, cracks are usually (really depends on the protection) smaller, as the protection code sections are sometimes removed etc.. but it really does depend on the protection, the cracking method (eg: loader), and the crackers skills

[Lord marf]

Does it matter if my game is in French?

Or my Windows XP Prof. in Dutch?
