1. Make sure the compatibility is set to Windows 2000.
2. Get Daemon Tools 3.47 and mount your FM2006 image.
3. Get Vitrual CD HIDE 1.0.04 and launch it (hide all virtual drives).
4. Run the game.
5. Enjoy

I tried this method with the other and I have no problems ,now I'll start playing the game
Thanks my friend

I'm new, but what is mounting a image.. I have downloaded all programs (Deamon tools / Alcoholic / CD HIDE).. but I don't know how to mount a image? And what image excactly meant? fm2006.bmp?

Thank for your help!

Ok chaps advice needed. I got FM2006 working without my cd by doing this:

Install the game
Go into the game folder (where you installed he game e.g D:Program FilesSports InteractiveFootball Manager 2006) and find the file fm.exe
Right click fm.exe and choose properties
Click on the tab that says compatibility
Tick the box that says Run this program in compatibility mode for
Choose NT 4 (service pack 5)
Apply
Make sure that the image is loaded on Alcohol or Dameon Tools

HOWEVER i quit the game and came back later to continue playing but it will no longer let me run the game. I double-click and it drives for a bit then nothing, no error message no nothing. I tried unmounting and remounting, i've even ran the repair but so far zippo.

Can anyone help?

Lol. If you don't know anything about computers then don't ask. We mean an CD image which you can use as an backup for an game, n00b.

Wait a minute, are you lot all using the MINI image????


As I said in the last 2, I am doing this with the FULL image of the original CD, not the mini image. If you wewre trying the MI, try using the full .mds of the CD.

No, if he doesnt know how to do it he should ask.

Try being less condescending.

This worked for me (but using NT4 sp 5).
Of course its the CD HIDE thats the real key here (Game burn world (without the spaces) has a copy)

Props to Dokok for going the extra yard.

Also, regarding the crack at gamecopyworld -: tried it, its for the beta test game version, it DOESNT allow you to create a new game.
And the game burn world crack is just a txt file with the above instructions (but without the virtual cd hide)...nice!

Anyone know how to play the game using Win98.

All those guides say u need to change compatibility so looks like they're intended for XP users.

Or Win98 users need to wait for the crack ?

I have exactly the same problem as "swoosh3k"! I do actually have the orginal but I just want to create a backup for my other computer. I have tried nero 7, cdclone within different modes, cd game protection mode and cd game mode as well. The disc is fine its an exact copy! however I can install the game from the backup disc fine and I can run the editor, but when it comes to me actually playing the game once the installation is complete it asks me to insert the disk, and the back up disk is already in, and then tried it with the orginal disc and it works fine. Its doing my nut in because I installed the data from the back up CD, lol. I have done the obvious and search google etc.. and there is nothing the only hope I have is this forum! Seems people are having the same problem as me. I have wasted about 10 cd's trying it all kind of ways and it just doesnt work. I also took someones advice about the alchohol prog and then changing the compatablity and it still doesnt work. If anyone has any idea's it would be much appreicated! Thanks Dan

[d3molisher]

oh yea!!! its works its alive!!!! nice 1 lads I got it to work using deomon tools and taking arsenal FC's advice!!! man I was doing this for about 2 hours and I did it! nice 1` Im going for a ciggi.

[scottysohotty83]

come on some one splease i really need this 6.0.1 patch

[ArsenalFc]

It would seem the common mistake would be leaving Daemon Tools running and/or not loading the "profile" thingy before running. Frankly I dunno which, thats just all I specified that others didnt. I reckon it's that Antiblaxx has to run daemon tools itself so as to mask the fact theres a virtual drive installed. Then again maybe running the profile executes the settings for the game. Who knows, moral is do both!

Scotty, have you tried googling for it? Someone must have it on a mirror somewhere!

[scottysohotty83]

yeah i tried google no luck the si games sight dl page is down so im fooked atm. up the spurs
