Right, the FM2006CD3 one you don't need. Whatsoever.

What size is the ind-fm2006.mds file?

Is this one you made yourself or has someone done the Alcohol work for you?

If you made it yourself did you choose that name or was it automatic?

I only ask because my ones called just FM 2006.mds, which is what the label of the original CD said.

Bob_geldof, i'll try to explain this ok.

The 6-8mb files you have obtained before are NO CD FIXES. They are replacements of the .exe file that has the whole section about checking for the CD removed, so the PC doesn't even think it has to do this at all. No CD files are generally warez, I don't know if they are frowned upon here or not, but generally I don't use them as they are a great way for people to transport viruses etc.

The way we're doing it now is different. We're taking an IMAGE of a CD. An Image being a single file containing ALL the information of the original CD so that when written to disc it's a clone of the original. Now the CD protection companies don't like this being possible, so they created a blacklist of programs used to run these images (Daemon Tools, Alcohol 120%, Clony etc). Now when you run the game it not only checks for the CD, but checks to make sure you don't have one of these programs installed. If you do it stops the process and demands the original CD again.

So we take our image file, and we "mount" it (that is loading it into a virtual CD drive so it acts like the original disc) then using Antiblaxx to HIDE the fact that Daemon Tools is installed. So now the game does it's checks.

Is Daemon Tools running?............No (we exited it already)
Is Daemon Tools installed?...........No (Antiblaxx is hiding it)
Is there a cd in any of the drives.......Yes (it sees your virtual drive, thinks it's a normal CD Drive, sees the "image" there, thinks it's the CD)
Is it the Football Manager 2006 CD?....Yes (your image is an exact replica)

and when that all comes back hunky dory it runs.

Hope that cleared things up for you.

the imi can not be 770mb, has no one yet been able to braek it down to a smaller size?? i have two problems you see 1) my hard drive is nackered 2) i have maybe 200mb left on my hard drive both do not benefit from your fix. Other games i have require no cd and are varstley smaller 6-8mb, how come fm2006 is the exception?? or do i have to just wait until it is "extracted"

[whateverandever1982]

Now it says 'run time error 53, file not found'

I give up man, thanks anyways

Well I've played the game a few days now and borrowed it to a friend and he went on holiday with the disk and I would download the crack so I could play it without cd.....

But I haven't got the CD so I cannot make the image!!!!!!! Can someone send me the file so I could replace it with my own FM?????

Thank you!!!!!

This won't stop until a 4mb or somewhere near mini cd image is released. Why has it taken so long? It's not hard to do so.

It's simple, whatever disc you installed the game from, make an image in alcohol 120%. If you used an image mounted on a virtual drive, THAT'S the one you want to point anti-blaxx to in order to get it working.

I can't think why else it would work for me and that other lad who followed my steps but no one else

And whateverandever.......... WHICH mds is this? What size is it? If it's the mini image from this thread, that's the wrong one.

ArsenalFC, you're the MAN!! I've been messing about, trying to get it to work for hours. Honestly, I have no idea why it works all of a sudden, but your suggestion was the last one I've tried. Thanks buddy!

Does somebody know how to play the game with the latest patch 6.0.2 without cd ? is it even possible or do we have to wait for a no cd crack 6.0.2 ??
