thanks for the reply.
I uninstalled all emulation drives and deleted the registry keys for them,didnt work.
I tried using the original 1.66a exe to launch the game but i got a securom error.
I bought this game in a retail shop in a modern shopping centre..reciept to proof too..Of course I am using the DVD,I do not have time to find and download no-dvd cracks
link to error:http://www.securom.com/message.asp?m=module&c=7001
this is the same error that occured when i first bought the game. Subsequently securom sent me a new exe. This new exe is 1mb bigger then the original,but I was able to launch the game.
It's like this.
1.First I launch using original 1.66a exe -> Cannot launch game,gives (7001) error.
2.Contacted securom
3.Launched using the 1.66a exe securom sent me -> Can launch game,but cannot play online(prompts for update to play online even though it is updated)
4.Contacted Securom,said not their problem and direct me to atari
5.Contacted Atari,no reply(five days already)
This is really unbelivable..It's like as though I buy a pet without it's head,even though it is suppose to be included..
Thanks again for helping
