Pro Cycling Manager

Hello!

While loading a stage of the Tour of Langkawi the game crashed and I had to restart my computer. Then I wanted to start the game again and I saw the videos, but before I was able to see main menu the game crashed and the computer said: "Pro Cycling Manager does not work any longer", in German: "Pro Cycling Manager funktioniert nicht mehr".
Then I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, but the problem was the same.
I tried it with and without the patch, with and without a DB, used some tips I found in the internet, but nothing helped.

This is the problem report (German):

Hello comebacker92,

1. Open Computer then (C:) Local Disk.
2. Open Program Files or Program Files (x86) folder.
3. Open Cyanide folder then Pro Cycling Manager - Season 2011 folder.
4. Open Video folder
4. Rename the videos files then run Pro Cycling Manager 2011.

Thank you, I will try it later.
And how do I have to rename them? I mean what should I write instead of "Videos"?

Hey romfromfocus,

I renamed the folder into "ABC", but the game also crashed.
Do you have any other tips?

I uninstalled everything concercing the game and then reinstalled it, but it does not work!
I don´t know what to do now, the game is unplayable.
Help!

I tried this before and now tried again, but the result was the same, Appcrash.
