Toca Race driver 3 won't work with images

[Boodu]

I just got this game today. I have an image of the game (MDF) and mounted it to Daemon Tools 4.00HE, installed the game (full install). From there I just clicked on the shortcut, it said something about installing copy protection (I imagine that it installed some rootkit) then I rebooted. Then since the image was still mounted in Daemon Tools I just played and it worked.

I just have an AMD Athlon 3000+ socket A (not 64bit) with 1Gb RAM, 128Mb 6600GT AGP, 1 × 36Gb Raptor on SATA1, 1 × 250Gb on SATA2, 1 × 120Gb on IDE1, 1 × DVDRW on IDE2, etc.

Another info : my Toca 3 works with the last beta NVidia driver (84.12 I believe), but it doesn't with the last official driver (81.92 I believe).

PS : has anyone experienced problems with this game when trying to launch the "World Tour" mode ?

hi!! i need help.... Yesterday i was triyng to play -Toca 3, i disable IDE CD-rom and after all, it didn´t work for me. Someone who knows, told me that with windows xp and Service pack 2 won´t work, so i will wait for a crack.

The problem for me is that now i can´t Enable de IDE CD-Rom, does anybody know how to do it? thanx a lot

Windows XP and SP2 shouldn't be a problem; read the FAQ on some more tricks. As for re-enabling your CD-ROM drive, use the same software with which you disabled it.

Sometimes you have to restart tour computer to get back your drives

You mentioned that you just got the game and installed using 4.00 HE. I just got the game also and have it installed. Must I uninstall it first, then reinstall from the .mdf file that is created using 4.00 HE?

Many thanks

@jasdelta

then reinstall from the .mdf file that is created using 4.00 HE?

You've confused me? Please tell me, how did you create a MDF using Daemon Tools?

If you have it installed then mount your MDF in Daemon to play!
Read the FAQ to find out how to mount images.

Well I am new at all this, so bare with me. I bought TRD3 and installed it, then began research on how I could play it without having to put the DVD in my drive all the time. Then I downloaded DT, VD Pro and AL120% to see how they would work. I made an image with both VD and AL120% and still have the orginal install of TRD3

If I'm understanding your right, I should just be able to mount the original mdf and play using DT is that correct?

Many thanks for the help...

This, normally, wouldnt work
As mentioned multiple times in here, you have to disable your internal, phyiscally available IDE drives by unplugging the power cable.
Otherwise you need a huge amount of luck to achieve this

Hmm, I thought I had read that using VD Pro and selecting diable IDE drives then mounting an image would work, not true?

My confusion is whether I need to completly uninstall my original install and then reinstall using an image file, then mount using DT.

Did anybody test the Race Driver 3 FIXED MDS IMAGE FILE (DPM)?
