Can't Play Madden 2004

[Steveonne]

Ok, this is the situation. A friend of mine asks me if I want Madden 2004. I say sure. He provides me with 2 disks and the Key written on the back. My C drive is 20 gig and over half full so I decided to install to my D drive which is 10 gig. I create a folder called Madden and install there. Everything seems to install just fine except I can't play the game. The friend also provides info to go to megagames.com and d/l the no CD file. I do this but still can't play the game. I've tried unzipping the no CD file to some different locations but still nothing.

Ok, that's the story. Is there a specific location I need to unzip to? That seems to be the only problem and I'll be able to play this game.

Thanks in advance :rangewin

What does it say when you try and play it?

[Steveonne]

The error message that comes up says, "Please insert CD-ROM. I've tried both install cds but still nothing.

Copy the cracked .exe to the Madden folder.

It should then replace the original file.

So he made u a COPY of HIS original CDs & that's all that you have, right? HE still has the ORIGINALS?

I'm not sure, but I think he got it by using Winmx so it might not be complete file anyway. I removed, reinstalled on my C drive and d/l the no cd file to the Madden folder but it still doesn't work. Rats! Any other tips will be appreciated but it looks like I might be removing and forgetting about this one.

You didn't answer Copy Lord's question...

The answer to his question is, "I'm not sure, but I think he got it by using Winmx." So that means he downloaded game from Winmx and saved on his hard drive or simply copied it directly to disks.
