Anno 1701 Fixed Image Problems

[chrisli83]

Hi all,

guess I have the same problem as -104- does. The image from gamecopyworld (anno1701.vc6) is not mountable. I use Virtual CD 8.0.0.4 and when I want to mount the GCW Image, it gives me the following message:



"Fehler beim Einlegen/Auswerfen" (Error when inserting/ejecting CD)
Grund: Datendatei konnte nicht geöffnet werden (Reason: Datafile could not be opened)

Anybody who can help me out here?

Well, thanks for this comment, Mr. Smart Ass. Anybody whith some more helpful remarks?

@ droidking: sorry for calling you names, but seriously: good for you that the answers worked for you; however, there are people who did follow the instructions and it still does not work.

All this only proves that these solution are "shaky": they work on some people's PC and don't work on others'. Well, hopefully, some "stable" solutions will be developed in the future. Until then, please, don't get mad, be patient,and try to not break your originals within those few weeks...!

Well its been working fine for me, I am using winmizer to hide the window when im not playing. The other night though the power went out and reset my computer, second try I was back in... and before I was having a hell of a time.

To make it clear, when you rename your vc6, its best to do it in command prompt... heres a quick rundown of the way to get it to work

- Make your vcd (this has been covered over and over again in previous posts)
- Download the file from GCW
- Open start > run > "cmd"
- When the dos prompt opens using the 'cd' command move to your vcd folder and use the rename command to rename your file to vc4 (IN WINDOWS U WONT BE ABLE TO DO THIS THE ONLY WAY IVE FOUND TO DO THIS HAS BEEN CMD PROMPT!)
- Then mount into a virtual drive, run and exit when it asks for cd
- Then remount inyour physical drive and play.

But, today may be the last day of messing with this cause im going to buy the game... Its fun but the whole german language barrier thing is really pissing me off.
