American Mcgees Alice No Cd Crack
So I bought American McGee's Alice. The Sold Out Version from Amazon. Installed it no problems, however I cannot get it to start.
There are no error messages, not lock up, it just doesn't do anything. I have tried all the different compatibility modes. I have tried running it as Administrator still nothing.
I have tried running it from the.exe file and the short cut the installation created. I have tried creating a short cut and running from that. Still nothing.Just to confirm I have window 7 64This is The first game not Alice returnsAnd if i have done it right there should be a picture showing the box. I am running a Dell laptop with Windows 10 (recent upgrade from 8).
I have tried compatibility mode, running from the disk, running from an install, etc. The only windows that open when I click on any files on the disk or from the install are the help windows.
The game itself does not launch at all. The shortcut on my desktop says that the file is missing. I would have thought that perhaps running from the disk would help, but no.I ordered my copy off ebay, and it isn't the 'sold out' (yellow) case. Mine has no front cover to the jewel case, but has two discs. It does have the registration number on the back, and I did register the game.Anyone have any suggestions? I am also having this issue. And as no one's said anything about it before November of this year (2015), it seems to be a recent issue.
There's something fishy going on. But I don't understand why they would implement some kind of break for this game as there's no way to buy it anymore except for used.All I know is my game installed, but when I click on the executable (under any compatibility mode), a loading spinner pops up and then nothing happens.
Alice Madness Returns Patch
I would really like to play this game, and if the CD doesn't work, nothing will. I believe I've found the problem: talks about types of copy protection that support was removed for in a recent security update for Windows 7 and up.American McGee's Alice is protected with SafeDisc copy protection - therefore it won't work natively with Windows PCs that have the latest security updates. The solution is actually incredibly simple though!Open a command prompt as an administrator:Windows button - cmd.exe - right-click - Run as administratorRun this command (with the exact spaces) to reenable the driver's service: sc config secdrv start= demandYou should get a SC ChangeServiceConfig SUCCESS message. Then run this command to start the service: sc start secdrvThen open the game and it should work!!! To be 'safe,' you can stop the service by restarting your computer or using the command: sc stop secdrvHappy gaming! I figured it out. I was using the remaster, but I didn't like it because of the lack of a console, so I just installedthe original American McGee's Alice with some HD texture mods.On Windows 10, the game kept telling me that I couldn't save games because my hard drive was full (NOT TRUE).
Megagames
I have a 3TB HDD.I had a hunch. Like I few older games I own, this one doesn't appear to understand these large HDDs. I guess the developers, at the time, didn't anticipate such large storage volumes (just like developers who continued to write 16-bit installers didn't anticipate 64-bit systems). I could be wrong. It could also be something else that is causing the issue (GPT partitions, somehow? It could also be a permissions issue, but taking ownership of the Alice folder didn't resolve the issue). Anyhow, I got my original 2-disc copy of the game to work as follows:I copied the entire Alice game folder to another partition on a smaller HDD (whether it matters or not, the smaller HDD uses the old MBR partitioning scheme).

Not only did the game begin to work flawlessly, but I discovered that the game does not need to be installed to run (oh - I'm also using a fix to eliminate cd swapping. Ahem, but a regular install to a different, smaller disk might work fine as well). I hope it works for you.Also, another poster pointed out a neat trick. Messing with the Alice: Madness Returns config file (the two lines at the very end) can enable you to launch the original Alice through the Alice: Madness Returns launcher. Just change the last line to 'TRUE' and then type the path to your American McGee's Alice folder in the line just above that.
