Godfather....please help?

[Gloomdusk]

Ok, i've tried mounting the original Image and the Mini Maxi image (MI-GTG.MDS) .. with a fresh Godfather.EXE (not cracked) , i've used alcohol, DEAMON Tools...with and without sd4Hide..... and nothing happens, why does this game not load? , all i get is a quick EA Screen pop up, then it dissapears and no game starts, it seems like it "Wants" to start......can someone help by chance? ... i've tried every method possible im sure...but maybe im missing something :( :confused:

Read that article on their support site, lemme know if it helps.

Also, if you have updated Windows with the latest updates from MS. Check Add/Remove programs for Update KB917422 and uninstal it, then reboot your PC and see if the game works.

Make sure when in Add/Remove programs to check the box for "Show Updates"

unfortunately neither suggestion worked, i did an uninstall of that specific update (after doing 62 critical windows updates i have been neglecting)... and the link you gave me didn't help much for my situation. the game just quickly flashes the EA Splashscreen, then the game doesn't start. i have used the mini image mounted, the original image mounted, all the "no DVD" cracks available, aswell as Procyon, Asr and sd4hide ..... for some reason, as a mounted image, it just doesn't wanna go past the EA Splashscreen :( sure wish i could get it goin..

I do not think this issue is related at all to the NOCD Fixes nor copy protection directly.

Alot of games have been having this issue lately, and more recently since MS updates where released. Most games involved are those protected by SecuROM. And even games that are being run from the origional CD/DVD are having issues. Not sure what the exact cause is as of yet, but the update I mentioned above has shown to contribute to the issue. Main reason I do not know exactly is well, i've been one of the lucky ones and have not encountered any problems and I have the update mentioned above. So, not sure :(

However, if you have any third party codecs installed such as DivX, XVid, ect.. you can try uninstalling them, then uninstall the game, reboot your PC, reinstall the game, then see if it works.
