Patch for Vrally don't not recognised by ppf

[gsh]

I have saved the image file for VRally2 in a folder and extracted all files for the crack but when I run it a dos window pops up and quickly disappears. Am I supposed to get a confirmation message at all? Without any confirmation message I'm not sure whether it worked so I'm not game to try and burn it as I don't want a coaster. Can you offer any help on the above problem? Thanks
