Star Wars: Empire At War running with image

[Tomy Tom]

I've installed Patch 1.04 and tesed all the Szenarie posted her with the Mini Image and the greater Image (posted from Slog) in this thread, but nothing will work for me.

Only the Tip with CureROM LITE can't teste, cause i've found no Link oder Page to download this Prog (only CureROM, and it's installed).

By the Way i use the DVD CE from the Game in German Language and it seems to me that all Versions they here teste ar the English Version.

Any Idea too bring on the Game running without the DVD or CD inside ??

Hi,
@Tomy Tom

@phil : i think he meant curerom 2.0.2 possibly which didnt have curerom lite in it afaik.. and why post a picture when you could have simply told him the location

[Tomy Tom]

Ups...sorry i've forgot to post the CurROM Version (where was my Head ?? ).

Yes i've only found CurROM 2.0.2 and it seems that in this Version is only CurROM and no CureROM Lite.

Securom looks for the CureRom.exe process. A simple fix is to rename the C:\Program Files\CureRom\CureRom.exe file to something else (like "Crom.exe"). Then run this file and it will re-associate the CureRom profiles with it. Now Securom won't complain about it anymore when using an image. I used this to run Stronghold 1.3.1 and SWEaW 1.04, it works for both.

ack - just rename the CureROM.exe - nice hint

Hello there.

I am here to say that I tried this image with my english version of the game, and it SUCCESFULY WORKED. I thank you for this wonderful fix.

[DarkReborn]

i,ve also downloaded the image done all that it say changed the compatibility mode to win200 and it says ''Security Node could not be activated (700)''
EDIT: ok it was antiblah,but it now says ''the original disc could not be indentifid want to retry?''

Try everything you can find in the forum FAQ.

Thx for all the Help.

After some Trials it will now work.

Here my Part to get the Game working without the CD /DVD:

1. Disabled the AntiVirus Tool.
2. Start Pr0tSt0p an click HIDE.
3. Start Deamon Tools, select all Emulation ON.
4. Mount the Image with Deamon Tools.
5. Start the Game with the CUREROM Shortcut.

It seem that the first Step is Important when running a AnitVirus Protection Tool an the PC, cause the AntiVirus Protection Tool wil scan the Files from the mounted Image.
This will cost Time, so the Error "Faild to read the Orignal Disk by Time" will Popup.
