Okay, I'm in a bit of a kerfuffle.
I bought FM2005 when it first came out, not realising that the copy I purchased from a large shopping chain was one of the many pirate copies leaked onto shop shelves, but the game worked OK and everytime I updated it all I had t o do was use Deamon Tools and it continued to work fine.
I then inherited my Dad's old laptop, which is only Windows 98. I wanted to put FM2005 onto this but I couldn't find the disk, and still can't.
What I tried to do was archive the whole Sports Interactive folder then burn it onto a CD then load it into the laptop. I used a No-CD Crack on the laptop and the game loaded up fine. I went to start a new game and after I selected the leagues I wanted to load up and error message popped up when the game had actually begun to load the new game. It was the old Windows 98 error favourite: "This program has performed an illegal operation".
Can anyone help me on how to get this game working on the laptop. I don't want to buy the game again for two reasons:
1. I've already paid for the game
2. FM2006 is out soon.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated. :)
