I don't have Vista - jumped from XP to 7.
Use the compatibility tab and set to run always as administrator. Set also the OS to Win98 and try it - if you haven't already.

Remember the crack was created under Win98. Windows NT (2000/XP/Vista/7) may handle things differently.

the "real problem" is now: I found the proper update for version 2.0 (normal, direct3d and 3dfx update) but unluckily the existing nocd patch does not work with them anymore. I suppose ppl never bothered of patching it and they always used real cdrom or a cd image instead.

note: the 3dfx update for voodoo2 support works like a charm with glide wrappers. Playing this game in hires with AA/AF is a cool experience.

If you are interested, the game update is here:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/44k5qf

simply unpack the archive in the installdir and overwrite existing files. (for security, make a backup of originals)

For a simple cd check, that should not matter. Different Os is only problematic, when API call adresses are hardcoded instead of being resolved via IAT. Thats why all Securom cracks made with Unsecurom dont run on Win XP or higher.


When i try to start podwin.exe i get "file i/o error" before disc check is hit.

sorry Cowsheep I have no idea what this i/o error could be. I tried the basic version uncracked winpod.exe (pod-2.1-originals.rar) in a virgin pc,that never got pod installed and it give me the message insert pod cdrom. I have not tested yet the new executables from the update.
