GPL NOCD patch not working with UK version

I downloaded the nocd patch ages ago (from the Fast Lane site, I think), and have only just got 'round to trying it out. It doesn't seem to work, though. I get an error saying something like either wrong version (I'm definitely trying the patch for the UK 1.2 version) or it's already patched. I don't think it is; it's still asking for my CD! Can someone who's successfully patched it tell me what I can look for (other than not having to use the CD!), i.e. .ini file changes, etc.? For the record, this is purely a �nice to have' as I'm a lazy sod; I'm not a no-good pirate!!!

Apparently applying to fast-cpu speed fix patch, from www.papy.com also removes CD protection, or so i've read. btw the UK 1.2 no-cd patch should work. Try the one at www.gamecopyworld.com "Jonesy" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

OBE - Order of the British Empire, MBE - Member of the British Empire. The OBE is the senior of the two. The sequence goes: MBE - OBE - CBE. If you start with the MBE, you can be promoted if you are deemed worthy enough or are nominated for the next award in line. Judging by the way you do your dates, you are from across the pond, so you can be forgiven for not knowing how our honours system works ;-) Cheers, Mick.

Whipped the UK soccer team into shape -- they just beat the Germans 1-5 (IN GERMANY), and are well on the road to WC finals.

I've shamelessy copied and pasted from an email I received today, but it did tickle me: Universal Pictures announced today they plan to make a film of the momentous football match that took place on Saturday 2nd September 2001. "Five-One" is the tentative title of what could be next year's big summer hit, depicting the American national soccer team's stunning victory over Germany. Nicholas Cage heads an all star cast as the captain of the brave US Soccer team haunted by the trauma of losing in the 2000 World Cup final on penalties and the death of his wife in a riot caused by English football hooligans, and finds love in the arms of a female sports journalist played by Julia Roberts. Mel Gibson is the no-nonsense Swedish coach who leads them to glory, with Keanu Reeves, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Will Smith playing some of Cage's heroic team mates. Jeremy Irons is set to star as Sir Nigel Villiers-Smythe, the dastardly Englishman who coaches the German team and forces them to play with poisoned-tipped studs to try and cheat the heroic American team out of victory. Director Steven Spielberg defended the film-makers' decision to focus on the American contribution to the victory over Germany and inaccurate and even imagined events in the story, saying, "Obviously we've had to take some artistic licence to make the story work on film, but I hope that what we produce will be true to the spirit of what happened on that famous night."

Oh my god -- don't tell me -- the producer MUST be Jerry Bruckheimer, right?? Actually, nothing much in there that wouldn't be standard Hollywood standard operating procedure... ;) -- "Walk like a Syrian" Per Thulin Visit Jane The Hamster's web site at http://w1.541.telia.com/~u54108168/ Spamblock in operation - remove "_no" "spam_" to reply by mail.
