EHM 2007 on Windows Vista - Questions and Solutions

[M-P-H]

It's the only thing that has changed after i last played it. And it doesn't even give any errors, only that windows reports that "nhl eastside hockey manager 2007 has crashed".

These small things about the game are so annoying, like it's ability to Lindros up saved games. Lost one from season 2028-2029, when playing with Kazan, DEG and the Maple leafs. All 3 gm's started up in mestis, really the only thing i hadn't won was KHL.

Corrupt save games are not a problem if you use the Save Safely option. As for your monitor problem, I have no idea. Very strange.

Hi!

I noticed problem with my ehm today when I once again tried to install CSD patch, and when I looked into my EHM folder it says that my ehm is 16.1mb (or something like that) there is also 9.5mb file in there but the game wont start with it.I BOUGHT the real version few years ago and it worked very well with me long time, untill I accidentally removed my Operating system.When I installed it again the error occured and it even shows Crack files in my EHM folder,I havent download any cracks on anything like that but it still shows them there.Is there any way to fix it without having to buy new version?

What do you mean by 'crack' file in your EHM folder? What file exactly?

[gambia_boy]

I''ve got 16mb and not working..

If your exe is 16mb then you're using the cracked version. The legitimate version of EHM is only 9mb. I have not tested the patch with the cracked version and nor do I intend to. Although it sucks that EHM is no longer for sale, The Blue Line will never support piracy.

That is loaned from Custom Start Date Patch: Questions, Errors and Help section and there appears to be some folder named crack and finnish ''read me'' txt file what tells how to mount and crack the game (in my EHM folder)

if you have pruchased the game leagally at one point you should still have a license key. You can always unlicense the game, and then reinstall it.

I don't really know how the crack version could just end up on your computer without somebody downloading it (perhaps a friend/relative downloaded it???). I'd be interested to see a screenshot of your EHM folder.

If you uninstall the game, reinstall it and relicense (as Loosie recommends) then all should be fine again.

[gambia_boy]

I dont believe that anyone else would have downloaded it expect me, perhaps ''accidentally'' but im going to try reinstall and relicense the game.

[gambia_boy]

I reinstalled the game and im running it with admin or atleast trying.It wont start at all and there doesnt even come any pop up windows that would tell anything.Is there any way to fix this problem?

[archibalduk]

Yep completely uninstall the game and then delete your 'NHL Eastside Hockey Manager 2007' folder.

I was take a guess that those RAR files contain a cracked version of the game. All of those 'NHL Eastside Hockey Manager 2007' subfolders are presumably the folders created from extracting the RAR files. My understanding is that torrent files and/or hosted illegal copies of software are usually split across multi-part RAR files (presumably to making downloading easier).

You need to clear everything, re-download the try'n'buy demo and then relicense it.

I'm guess this problem relates to your other thread.

Have you completely uninstalled EHM and deleted you 'NHL Eastside Hockey Manager 2007' folder like I suggested? Once you have done this, you will need to download a new copy of the try'n'buy demo and install this. Try running just the demo to start with. Once you have that up and running, then you can license it.

[gambia_boy]

Yeah I did it and it didnt work.

[gambia_boy]

I think I downloaded crack beacuse game didnt work when I got new operating system but anyway like I posted into vista problems section it still doesnt work even though I removed the game completely and installed it again.

ADMIN NOTE: I'm merging your thread into the Vista thread because we're discussing the same thing across two threads. - Archi

What do you mean it didn't work? At what point did it crash? What steps did you take when you installed and ran the game? I need far more detail before I can really help you.

What is the file size of your ehm2007.exe file?

[gambia_boy]

Now its ''normal'' 9mb and i wouldnt say that it crash because it just dont do anything even i double click it to open

[archibalduk]

Are you running Zone Alarm or any other anti virus software Try disabling it to see if that makes a difference.
