Cannot run "Commandos. Behind Enemy Lines" game in WindowsXP LivePC
Submitted by Damian Roche on January 20, 2008 - 2:58am.
Hi, I just installed "Commandos. Behind Enemy Lines" and when I try to run it I get an error,
"This application cannot run with an active debugger in memory. Please unload the debugger and restart the application."
I have checked that the moka5tools have been installed (also checked that the directx driver was installed correctly) just incase it was anything to do with that.
The game works fine on my host machine.
Anybody have any ideas?

Hi John, Thanks for the quick reply.
I found a comandos "anti cheat" patch and when I run it now, it says "I CANT FIND DIRECTX 5" in a little error box in the centre of the screen. It look likes it tries to run because a black window opens in the background (just like on my main pc).
Any ideas?

Hi Rochey, Moka5 DirectX

Hi Rochey,
Moka5 DirectX acceleration only supports DirectX 8 and 9. You could try editing the vmx file and adding these lines:
mks.enable3d = TRUE
svga.vramSize = 67108864
This requires VMware Tools to be installed in the guest. DirectX 5 may just be too old :-P.

Some games have copy
Some games have copy protection or "anti-cheat" detection that prevents you from running the game in a virtual machine. You can sometimes work around this by using executables where the protection has been removed, e.g. from GameCopyWorld or similar.
