hmm, do not have this game, but sounds a bit like a Video issue.

Do you have any video codecs such as non default ones that comes with the Operating System.

Examples are DivX, XVid, Quicktime, Realplayer.

If you do, you might try uninstalling them and rebooting the PC then try the game without them installed.

Also, be sure you update your video and sound drivers (if you have not already)

Since I do not have the game, I cannot rule out that the "no cd fix" may have a problem, I will only assume (bad idea at times) that is works since there is not alot of peeps complaining that its not working.

Yeah, I've got the same trouble. NoCDPatch fine, just exits when asked to launch. Have uninstalled other video codecs as suggested. Drivers all seem updated, demo runs fine? Help any other thoughts?
