the imi can not be 770mb, has no one yet been able to braek it down to a smaller size?? i have two problems you see 1) my hard drive is nackered 2) i have maybe 200mb left on my hard drive both do not benefit from your fix. Other games i have require no cd and are varstley smaller 6-8mb, how come fm2006 is the exception?? or do i have to just wait until it is "extracted"

Right, the FM2006CD3 one you don't need. Whatsoever.

What size is the ind-fm2006.mds file?

Is this one you made yourself or has someone done the Alcohol work for you?

If you made it yourself did you choose that name or was it automatic?

I only ask because my ones called just FM 2006.mds, which is what the label of the original CD said.

Bob_geldof, i'll try to explain this ok.

The 6-8mb files you have obtained before are NO CD FIXES. They are replacements of the .exe file that has the whole section about checking for the CD removed, so the PC doesn't even think it has to do this at all. No CD files are generally warez, I don't know if they are frowned upon here or not, but generally I don't use them as they are a great way for people to transport viruses etc.

The way we're doing it now is different. We're taking an IMAGE of a CD. An Image being a single file containing ALL the information of the original CD so that when written to disc it's a clone of the original. Now the CD protection companies don't like this being possible, so they created a blacklist of programs used to run these images (Daemon Tools, Alcohol 120%, Clony etc). Now when you run the game it not only checks for the CD, but checks to make sure you don't have one of these programs installed. If you do it stops the process and demands the original CD again.

So we take our image file, and we "mount" it (that is loading it into a virtual CD drive so it acts like the original disc) then using Antiblaxx to HIDE the fact that Daemon Tools is installed. So now the game does it's checks.

Is Daemon Tools running?............No (we exited it already)
Is Daemon Tools installed?...........No (Antiblaxx is hiding it)
Is there a cd in any of the drives.......Yes (it sees your virtual drive, thinks it's a normal CD Drive, sees the "image" there, thinks it's the CD)
Is it the Football Manager 2006 CD?....Yes (your image is an exact replica)

and when that all comes back hunky dory it runs.

Hope that cleared things up for you.

Did you do any of this "change compatibility mode" stuff being suggested? If so try changing it all back.

At times like this, if you've installed that FM2006CD3 image and changed the compatibility and whatever, what I would do, JUST to be certain, is using Add/Remove programs to uninstall the game, then reinstall it from your image. This is only because it's a 100% surefire way to be positive that the files on your machine are EXACTLY the ones needed, not a single file more, not a single file less, and are exactly as they should be, nothing altered.

Out of interest, what is the name on the image AFTER you mount it (i.e what does it say on that drive under "My Computer". Is it anything other than "FM 2006"?)

Just says 'FM 2006'

And I have tried the uninstall and reinstall thing already, as I say, it worked yesterday then just stopped working when I tried to reload it up, this seems to be happening to most people.

Right so it would appear that the image file you have is correctly labelled. No problems there.

Have you ever changed the compatibility after reinstalling it?

Is the copy you have installed now exactly as it was the minute installation finished? i.e no other image mounted, compatibility mode switched off (double chack that one) no extra files, and set up so that Daemon Tools is not running but Antiblaxx IS running?

Finally if the answer to all above is yes, are you trying to run it by double clicking the shortcut, the fm.exe file in the install directory or through the Anti Blaxx icon?


I'm getting more stressed trying to sort this for you guys than I did for myself. Sorry I've not managed to get you up and running yet.

Yep, tried it with and without it onto the nt4 thing

Right now? Nope, the compatibility thing has changes, but I have tried a reinstall already and not changed anything and then it just asks me for the correct cd in the drive, with the compatibility changed nothing happens at all.

Everything else is correct

I did what you said, clicked it in the Anti Blaxx thing then tried it with the exe.

So if you uninstall, reinstall and follow the steps, it STILL asks for the CD?
