ok, i read the instructions again and broke it down
"Installation Information :
==========================
Just extract the archives and burn the .cue file with your favorite CD-Recording
software. Then copy the crack from CD to installation directory and enjoy !" <-------------------This is the original
Parts
"Just extract the archives" <-------------- Im assuming that this is the coCD crack, and the step where i extract teh file to a arbitrary folder.
"and burn the .cue file with your favorite CD-Recording software." <----------- Im assuming that this is when i burn the file which i already did
"Then copy the crack from CD to installation directory and enjoy !" <-------- Im assuming this is the part when i send the entire cd crack to the installation directory.
To me the "installation directory" sounds like the file that opened the game to, in my case it is C:\Program Files\Games\American Conquest Full
Am i supposed to copy and past the entire crack to this folder and it will jsut create its own folder or send files to the proper locations?

go to C:\Program Files\Games\American Conquest Full direcrory on your hdd and have a look in there and see if there is a .exe it will no doubt look like a specialised icon if this is where you extracted the .bin and .cue and thats all you have in that directory then you will need to install the game first, just get yourself a copy of daemon tools or alcohol 120%, these will make a virtual cd drive on your PC, mount the .bin onto the virtual drive and it should autorun, just click install and it will install the game for you.
ok once thats done, go to the directory the game "installed" to and have a look in that dir for the afore mentioned .exe, if you see one great, if not just go into some folder untill you find it, once found just got to the virtual drive that one of the above programs created, lets say drive F: click on this drive so you are browsing the cd now, there should be a folder called "crack" on the cd, double click on this folder and inside should be a .exe similar to the one in the installed game directory, right click on this and selct copy, now go to the dir the game installed and where the original .exe is, then right click and select paste, a box should pop up saying there is a file of the same name that already exists, do you want to replace the existing file, just select yes, then run the game with the cd still mounted on your virtual drive and it should play no problem, but you need the cd image on the virtual drive though or it will stay say inser cd.
hope this helps

I already burned the game and installed the game, do i still have to use the virtual cd thing?
And the crack did not come with the game, i had to d/l it separately, it is a rar file, not .exe

Ok so the game is installed and you burned the ISO you downloaded from where ever and installed the game from it correct? And that works fine.
Then you wanted to use a no-cd crack, or some for a crack that you downloaded as a rar file. I'm assuming you have winrar, (visit http://www.winrar.com if you need a copy), and are wondering what to do.
Inside the rar there is probably a txt file or an NFO along with an .exe file that is renamed the same file as the exe of the real game. Extract this into a directory you make yourself, call it C:\crack. Once you do this go to your directory C:\Program Files\(Whatever the game is called). In there you should see the real executable file and rename it REALconquest.exe and then copy and paste in the cracked exe from the folder you extracted it to. Then run that exe and it should work. I think thats what you mean.

ok you have to replace the original .exe with the cracked one, but it sounds to me as if you have a dodgy crack, you did run a virus check on it first as these types of files are nearly always riddled with viruses even off crack sites. go to www.megagames.com go to the trainer menu on the left put the name of the game in and get the crack for your version of the game from there.
if the crack you have got somes up with having a virus then make sure you run a full virus scan to get rid of any damage it done.
hope this helps.

basicaly a one with a virus or a trojan in, or a one that just doesnt work with the copy of the game you got, i would never download a nocd crack of kazaa or any dodgy ware* sites, always got to megagames or gamescopyworld.com if they havnt got a good one then no one will have.
