Vampire Bloodlines. Help

[sandgroper]

Its true...
I have the mini-iso thingy mounted but it still says that cd emulation software is detected. I tried using both daemon tools and alcohol. I removed clone cd.
If I disable the virtual drives, the message does not come up, instead with an insert-the-cd message.
Its quite frustrating because a friend has it working but I cant seem to manage it.

you need to use the search button and find where they talk about making demon-tools invisible by editing the registry and removing read permissions on certain keys..
here is the general location in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi

that way if demon tools is the only thing installed that pisses off the "detected" message.. it's invisible..

i removed alcohol 120% and clonecd from my machine, with no results whatsoever. the game still refuses to run on account of seeing the dreaded emulators everywhere. do i have to get rid of nero as well? and: is this legal? to force me to remove programs in order to use other programs?

what should I do if I have problem about virtual C++ while running the game

This a well known issue : the protection is testing only two keys in your registry :

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Elaborate Bytes\CloneCD]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Slysoft\CloneCD]

The solution is also well known :

1/ use Regedit to save these two keys in .reg files
2/ use Regedit to delete these two keys
3/ launch the game and play
4/ after you quit the game, restore these two keys by launching the .reg files

Note you can do all that automatically with a batch file. I can put my batch file here if you are interested.

I don't get it. I thought that Bloodlines detects only if a mounted image is active. What has to do with CloneCD ?

Don't trust what they SAY, look what they DO.

A long time ago, CloneCD has included a virtual disk. Then the copy protection blacklisted CloneCD. Now we use Daemon, and the protection always blacklists CloneCD. Next year, they will blacklist Daemon, and we will use NewDaemon... The copy protection is like the philosophy (following Hegel): it comes always too late.

The trick I described works perfectly for me. And don't tell me you do not have CloneCD installed: please look your in your registry, if you have one of the 2 keys. Don't trust what the installers and uninstallers say, look what they do.

Remember also that at Daemon's installation, you can choose the name of the pseudo-device you are installing: don't give a name that calls for the blacklisting.

Hi, when i try to install the game, its goes normal with cd I,II, III. But the game asks for cd I again and then appears a "2349 Internal error".

CD I is burn with 120% and II & III with nero. How can I install the game?Thx

[reddragon105]

candyman - try installing the game from your originals. if you get the same error message, take it back to the shop and get a replacement. if not, try copying the game again.

you could always just install it from your originals and use a no cd crack
