BEFORE YOU CONTINUE READING..I MUST INFORM YOU THAT THIS WORKED FOR ME ON WINDOWS XP W/SP2...I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE RESULT WILL BE ON ANY OTHER OS!!
Hey all...just figured it out! You must follow these instructions, if u want to play FM2006 without a CD.
1) [REMOVED - they can get it on their own]
2) Download and install Daemon Tolls (I used v3.47). Ensure that all your emulation options are ON.
You may/will have to restart your pc at this point, if promoted to do so by Daemon Tools
3) Mount your football manager 2006 image onto daemon tools and install it (Complete setup...not Custom). NOTE: YOU MUST INSATLL IT FROM THE SETUP.EXE ON THE IMAGE...NOT THE WINDOWS INSTALLER PACKAGE THAT?S V V IMPORTANT!
**Do NOT play game just yet, but keep the image mounted onto Daemon Tools.
4) Go to http://www.gamershell.com/download_11237.shtml to download the NEW FM2006 patch v6.0.1 YES...there is one update already!
5) Unzip, and update your existing fm2006 installation to v6.0.1
***HERE COMES THE MOST IMPORTANT BIT***
i) Locate the file 'fm.exe', via My Computer (C:\Program Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2006)
ii) Right click fm.exe and choose properties
iii) Select the COMPATIBILTY tab
iv) Tick the box that says 'Run this program in compatibility mode for', and from the drop down list select "Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 5)".
v) Click APPLY and then OK.
Viola!
You can now play the game, as long as it?s mounted on Daemon Tools), with no cd crack, or CD burning to be done! You have the full game available to play! No Hassle!
** Not to sure but, this may also work if you were using Alcohol 120% instead of Daemon Tools, although I haven't tried that myself! But if you feel like letting me know if it does work, then please do!**
Hope you have found this to be beneficial to your needs and I wish u all happy gaming, and good luck with your in game.
Phoenix ;)
PS: Please let me know if this works for you, because it did for me, and I would hate to think that I have give you all wrong information!

The original thread for this post was so pathetically full of broken rules I decided to delete it rather than spend an hour and a half of my free time trying to fix everything.
I'm laying the warnings out right here and now so anyone who ignores them runs the risk of being banned immediately. These are the rules I saw broken repeatedly in the original thread:
No posting email addies.
No discussing of where to get torrents or ISO's.
No requesting pirated material.
No discussing cracks.

Hey lad!
i'm very much interested by your step by step procdure cause i bought the game but it's really a pain in the neck to use the CD every time, especially since some friends tend to borrow it.
Unfortunately i'm not i got it right, at least i hope not cause otherwise it didn't work.
my level in computer skills is really low, as you would have noticed, but it seems to me the only step i could have srewed is the third one with the image to mount in Daemon Tools. Which file is it exactly?
Thanks for your help,
Dub.

Man, I'm having some real problems with this! I'm a bit of a newbie to all this, would appreciate some advice.
I downloaded football manager 2006 from a torrent site. I got 44 files. I opened them with WinRAR and am now left with 2 files
- ind-fm2006.MDF (752MB) and
- ind-fm2006.MDS (2.74KB)
I've no idea what all this image creating business is about but I have downloaded Alcohol120% and want to learn. I'm pretty sure I can follow the steps at the start of this thread once I can get that far. What do I do?!
Do i need to create an image file (if so, how?) then what do i do with it? Burn it to a CD?!
Thanks in advance,
oasis2ooo

Man, just download NOW the programm Daemon Tools. Install it. Than run it. It will appear just a small icon in your bar, just next to the clock. Right click on this icon and go to the option where you can ser ALL EMULATION OPTIONS ON.
Then you right click again in the icon and choose the option to MOUNT A IMAGE (just select this .MDS file). Done! It's like you had the official cd in your cd drive (but it's all virtual). Open your virtual drive (from My Computer). Then select Setup.exe... From this, you just follow the steps that were written in the top of this forum.
Sorry for my english (I'm brazilian). Hope it helps. Good luck!

Thanks Guhenn, I'm almost there..!
Ive installed the game and am getting the Please insert CD-ROM message.
I reffered back to Phoenix83's original post but still have a problem.
When I right-click the FM.exe i dont get a compatability tab in properties. Is this because I'm running Windows 98?
Aaagh, i wanna play dammit! so close...

To oasis2ooo,
Man, I'm sorry, but you must have Windows XP to make this 'compatiblity'...
Hope you can take a copy from Windows XP. Good luck!
PS: Hey, do me a favor, please... What's the link from the torrent that you've downloaded? Thanks a lot!

The next idiot to ask that question is getting banned immediately and this thread will be closed.
