I have a problem with FM2006 using win2000.

Everything starts up fine, use anti-blaxx. No problem at all.

But when the game is on; Straight under 'Player Name' you are suppose to see his position, for example 'Defensive Midfielder', but get some kind of numeric-code instead, like '12134235'. Most annoying.

I installed it on my brothers winxp and he had not my problem, so it is not the installation (I have re-installed and tried the latest patch) or image-file that is the problem.

Can anyone PLEASE help me???

Thanks,
Robert

(only for the first step you need the original CD)

No need of anti-blaxx, virtual hide, MINI_IMG, etc. you only need Alcohol (trail) or Demon Tools (freeware)

Worked on Windows XP Home SP2 without any problems

_________________________________________

Step 1. Make an image of your original CD by following step 1 of franksmule guide. click here

Step 2. Disable the real DVD & CD Drives.

-> Right click on My Computer and select Properties.
-> Under Hardware tab click on Device Manager
-> In the Device Manager window click on the + sign near DVD/CD-ROM drives to expand it.
-> Right-click on each of the real (not virtual) drives and select Disable and click OK.

Step 3. Change compatibility mode of fm.exe to Windows NT 4.0 (SP 5).

-> Follow step 3 of franksmule guide if you don't know how. click here

Step 4. Mount the full image that was made in Step 1 by using Acohol or Daemon Tools

Step 5. Double-click on the Football Manager 2006 shortcut on the desktop and have fun playing without the CD in drive.

Note: To re-anable the DVD/CD-ROMs you need to follow Step 2, but instead of selecting Disable, select Enable.

Worked for my 2 PCs (Win XP SP1 and SP2).

-> Insert the FM2006 CD in your drive (obvious ).
-> Run Alcohol (if you have it).
-> On the left-hand panel click on Image Making Wizard and the wizad opens.
-> Select the drive where there is FM2006 and select your prefered Read Speed (by default Maximum).
-> Tick Skip reading errors and leave the others unticked.
-> Click Next>.
-> Name the image, select where you want to save it and Start making the image.

___________________________________________

Note: While making the image a number of error messages will occur (until ~3%), ignore them and let Alcohol work even if it takes long.

Do i have to burn this image onto a cd then run it from my cd drive?

[Zoolok]

[jambo89]

NO, because the scope of the Step by Step guide is to avoid inserting the CD in drive.

So when you've done the full image of FM2006 then just mount it with Alcohol or Daemon Tools.

(remember to change the compatibility of fm.exe)

i followed the steps "Step by step guide to load FM2006 without your CD in drive" but i still cant get my game running. it says insert cdrom. i tried all the methods but still cant work for me
