Thanks for answering.
Tried copying CD and installing from the hard drive but still does the same thing.
Does the registry in XP act differently than in W98. Do I need to make any entries\changes to it?

Try to find if there is a CDpatch in there...and change it to the same direction that you have the game installed..

011000, get yourself WinRAR or WinACE.. Most people on here prefer WinRAR..

Keep all arguments off the main board please...Take it to PM..

There is an entry in the registry on the machine where the crack works successfully that refers to CM4X.ISO so hopefully that's what I need to be on the laptop too.

I don't know much about this stuff so I'll mess around with it a bit.

Thanks Krondike.

Hi there.

I've normally just downloaded the EP5 fix from gamecopyworld and slapped it on my copy of CM4 but this time round when I came to updating it, I discovered that there wasn't one. I looked around for a few hours and came across this very useful board. Then I realised (through you nice people) that the EP5 cracked exe was always there but listed as 4.07. So, I downloaded it as normal (2.46 MB i think). When I opened the file, I only saw one file which the usual .nfo file from Deviance. The nfo file was 4kb in size but the archive was 2.46MB. The nfo file was shown on Winace as the ONLY file that could be extracted.

I ran an archive check on it and discovered that there was in fact a cm4.exe file in there but that it had a crc error in it. Okay I said, this happens sometimes. Normally I just download it again and the problem is solved. Well, I downloaded it again and the same thing happened. CRC-error in CM4.exe. I've downloaded the same file 4 times now and the same thing keeps happening.

So I was wondering if one of you nice folks could help me out. Try and help me understand what I haven't done right. I've done everything I would normally do which generally is to re-download and that's the problem solved. Please could someone help me as I am at wits end. I do own CM4 but as with others who own CM4 but use the crack, I don't like it in my CD drive. The thought of it grinding away in my drive ain't nice. I like to keep my CD's in good condition. My CM2 CD is in mint condition!!!

Hope I've explained the problem. Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide!!!

Sorry, I should have said this. I read that sticky before and I already have a registered version of winace 2.2. It's the latest version.

So you're trying to open a winRAR file with WinACE, and you're surprised it doesn't work ? Might I suggest you try WinRAR 3.0 or later ? It WILL work a lot better than WinACE, at least on .rar files...

Well yeah! You post was in today 2003-08-21 and the one before was in 2003-08-01 so 20 days....are you slow or what

Any way Winrar is the ultimated tool my meaning. And most of the cracking sites and crackers use winrar as a compressor!
But thanks any way for your tip of an unpacker!

winrar is the best compression / decompression utily available.
get v3.20 from www.rarlabs.com and your crc errors will be gone...

patch not applied

I have Champ Manager 4.01 cracked by Divine (I think), I'm trying to upgrade to 4.08. I have downloaded EP5 from sigames (408_enhance_nodata(1).exe) and the no cd crack from game copy world (dev-cm48.rar). Following the instructions at GCW I try to apply the patch but after it unzips I get two error messages - 'unable to read current installation folder - unable to read current install version info, and the installation is aborted. I am able to write the original exe over with the no cd crack and the game runs, but I'm wondering if the patch hasn't been applied and I'm missing out on the enhancements. Can anyone help me out

Nope is not installed. And you might have a ripped version to!
