Sam.exe patch

[GKenn01]

I am new to these forums having had Cricket 2004 for two weeks. I have the following problem with the Sam.exe file. When I replace original Cricket 2004 exe (4.22mb ) with the Sam.exe file (0.97mb)and attempt to load the game, the game does not load and defaults back to the windows desktop screen. I am running Windows Millenium. Obivously I am doing something wrong, any help / ideas as to how to get the patch to work properly would be much appreciated.

You should try to reinstall the game if any other method does not seem to work.

Try re-installing the game.

Have already tried this without any difference. Have also tried reloading sam.exe patch. Anyone any other ideas?

Just let me check something......

You downloaded the file, then ran it to extract the replacement exe?

Friend i have a doubt i had this problem when i replaced the shortcut to crickret 2004.exe with sam.exe did u do thew same thing or u replaced the one in root directory

how i did was when asked bout a desktop icon (on installing) say yes, and then replace it. cause that will work dont replace the one in c:/program files/ea sports/cricket 2004.

In short yes, I take it that I should be replacing the Cricket 2004 exe on my desktop and leaving the original exe as it was.

There's no point replacing the short cut or the copy on the desktop, you have to replace the original in your root directory. (i.e. X:/Program Files/EA Sports/Cricket 2004)
Easiest thing to do is put the exe you've downloaded in the root directory; run it and it will patch the cricket2004.exe file.
There is an official thread for Sam's exe right below this one so I'm going to close this and you can post any more problems in there.
