Hitman Blood Money, doesn't load!

[D00bs]

Anyone still trying to run this game, patched to 1.1, via emulation? If so, I've found a solution that works at least on my computer.

You'll need daemon tools of course, and also the latest pr0tst0p and securom loader. Put the latter directly into your blood money directory.

Then..

Mount your image with daemon tools, with all emulation options disabled, then close the little daemon tools icon on your windows toolbar.

Next, run Pr0tst0p, click "hide", close Pr0tstop, and then simply launch "hitmanbloodmoney.exe" with Securom Loader. I was suprised as hell when mine launched with this combo, but it wasn't a fluke for me; works every time.

Which is good, cuz the patch really improved my performance.

btw...I've only tested this with mini images...if it doesn't work the first time, try different ones. best of luck. For legal/backup purposes only of course

Sorry no prob's with GF 6600 GT and one of latest driver like 84.21. to beta 91.25 run proper without any bug.

At same time i have tested with GF TI 4200 Directly go back to desktop.

I tried doing EXACTLY what you said but I still get the "conflict with emulation software" error message.

Try to uninstall ALL Useless Unused virtual drives like Clone CD, just let Daemon tool & hiding tools on your system. Probably, you have to many black listed burning softwares installed. check your registry wis regcleaner to know if all uninstalled burning softwares have removed their keys from "software list" and "startup list"

Aha! That did it! Thank you very much and thank you D00bs you are both champions.

Hey
I've tried all that you mentioned, including deleting every application I thought could have something to do with either CD/DVD burning or blacklisting tools.

The ones I let be is DAEMON Tools, Pr0t.St0p v1.0 and SecuROM 1.2.
Now I've followed all the instructions and I have used RegCleaner but still the same issue with the error message that tells me there is a conflict with emulation software.
Maybe its because I have the wrong image file, where did you get yours?

EDIT: So now I have solved it, it turned out to be a faulty image, I said it myself. I suggest you go to www.gamecopyworld.com and install the first release of the DVD Fix Image for this to work, altough there should be no need for Pr0t.St0p v1.0, only run the Hitman ".exe" file with SecuRom 1.2 as usual. It should work as a charm.

OK.. i explain my situation:

Ï've installed the game and the 1.1 patch and everything is working fine, so I thought... At the end of the first mission, ive getting a error message, and the game drops out to the deskop again. Has happend 3 times know, and dont know what to do. Guessing iam not the only one with this problem.

HELP!

No you're not the only one. If you roll back a few pages you will see it explained there, although I can explain it once again.
I was experiencing this problem also. The reason is that the crack you have applied is faulty, I think its made for the Demo release of Hitman, since it creates a folder named Hitman Bloodmoney Demo under "Documents and Settings\Username".
The only way I know at the moment to play the game with 1.1 (without original disc) is to follow the tips up ahead with SecuROM!

[noscript]

Yes it is made for the demo. You can download it as a "1.1 demo patch" from Eidos support pages. If you scan it with pid you will see that it is wrapped with Securom 7.

I installed retail full (not demo) 1.1 patch since new 1.1 nodvd is here, I see no difference as I didnt have any performance issues in 1st place, but it did erase my saves , I need redo 1st 2 levels again

[noscript]

It did not erase you saves. It is a demo exe and looks for savegames in another directory. (Hitman Bloodmoney Demo). You will not be able to complete the whole game because you get kicked out after reaching the end of a level.

ask you, will never release crack the 1,1 for the complete version of the game? thanks byez
