FM 2006 Mini image

[d3molisher]

I have exactly the same problem as "swoosh3k"! I do actually have the orginal but I just want to create a backup for my other computer. I have tried nero 7, cdclone within different modes, cd game protection mode and cd game mode as well. The disc is fine its an exact copy! however I can install the game from the backup disc fine and I can run the editor, but when it comes to me actually playing the game once the installation is complete it asks me to insert the disk, and the back up disk is already in, and then tried it with the orginal disc and it works fine. Its doing my nut in because I installed the data from the back up CD, lol. I have done the obvious and search google etc.. and there is nothing the only hope I have is this forum! Seems people are having the same problem as me. I have wasted about 10 cd's trying it all kind of ways and it just doesnt work. I also took someones advice about the alchohol prog and then changing the compatablity and it still doesnt work. If anyone has any idea's it would be much appreicated! Thanks Dan

It would seem the common mistake would be leaving Daemon Tools running and/or not loading the "profile" thingy before running. Frankly I dunno which, thats just all I specified that others didnt. I reckon it's that Antiblaxx has to run daemon tools itself so as to mask the fact theres a virtual drive installed. Then again maybe running the profile executes the settings for the game. Who knows, moral is do both!

Scotty, have you tried googling for it? Someone must have it on a mirror somewhere!

[scottysohotty83]

yeah i tried google no luck the si games sight dl page is down so im fooked atm. up the spurs

Let's say i use Win2000, and when i click Properties on the "fm.exe" i have no "Compabtility" TAB.

I have mount the image, installed the fuul game and still it's require the CD.

What should i do ?!

Install the game
Go into the game folder (where you installed he game e.g D:Program FilesSports InteractiveFootball Manager 2006) and find the file fm.exe
Right click fm.exe and choose properties
Click on the tab that says compatibility
Tick the box that says Run this program in compatibility mode for
Choose NT 4 (service pack 5)
Apply
Make sure that the image is loaded on Alcohol or Dameon Tools
Double click the fm2006 exe on the desktop and play the game!

great job swoosh3k.
i register my nick to the forum only to applaud U.

Ok, let's come back playing FM2006............

If you have the ORIGINAL FM 2006 disk make a image (mdf not iso/bin) with alcohol 120% newest version.
A full image as already said mini images dont work. It will take a while and will produce a ton of error messages within the first 100,000 sectors. After thats done mount the image and do the win nt thing as previously said.

Anti-blaxx or hide virtual cd isnt required aslong as you have newest version of deamon tools and alochol

I tryed this and it works. The problem is that i get kicked out (RANDOMLY!!) from the game saying that he dosn't have Virtual Memory. This is crap...i have lot's of space...lot's of RAM.

Anti-Blaxx dosn't work on me. I tryed, i reinstalled Daemon, Alcohol...everything, it just dosn't work.

sorry, antiblaxx do need to be running

I can run the game winout Anti-Blaxx if i set combatibility to Win NT. But the game kick's me out saying "Football Manager 2006 is out of memory. Please quit and free up" (or something like that). I click ok...then the game quits.

With Anti-Blaxx i have set the game directory to FM.exe, protection : SafeDisc.

Also I clicked Mount Image in Device 0. Also tryed with DTools and alcohol. Dosn't want to start.

OK I've now got it going to. Here is a complete list of my exact actions after maknig my mds and mdf files.

Install daemon tools, then exit it. DO NOT LEAVE IT RUNNING.
Using Antiblaxx, enter the path to the fm.exe game and the .mds image file.
Set the security option in Antiblaxx to SECUROM 5
Minimise antiblaxx again.
Now with Daemon tools NOT running and Antiblaxx in the taskbar, right cick the antiblaxx icon, select the one at the top of the list and open the profile you've just named (default: gamename)
Double click the fm2006 shortcut on your desktop. It should produce the error "Football Manager 2006 is already running!"
Click ok on that to close the error message box.
Wait a minute. Game loads.

This has just loaded it for the first time for me. The problem I had was leaving Daemon Tools running!

Virtual memory is different from phsyical memory.
go to control panel -> system -> click the 'advanced' tab -> click settings under 'performance' -> click the next advanced tab -> at the bottom there is a place to change the amount of Virtual memory. Clisk 'change' and change the 'initial size' to to at least 512mb. prefereably about 768mb. max should be between 1200 to about 1500 depending on your system.

click ok to save settings, it might ask you to restart your computer. do it if it does



Scotty, the patch is at http://www.thedugout.net/
