Appcrash

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!

Hello comebacker92,

You may also try this:

3. Open Cyanide folder then Pro Cycling Manager - Season 2011 folder.
4. Right mouse click 'PCM.EXE' (PCM) application file and click Properties.
5. Click Compatibility tab.
6. Check 'Run this program in compatibility mode for:' and select Windows XP (Service Pack 3).
7. Check 'Disable visual themes' and 'Disable desktop composition'.
8. Check 'Run this program as an administrator' and click OK button.
9. Run the game.

I tried this before and now tried again, but the result was the same, Appcrash.
What could be the mistake that the game doesn´t work?
