You have to unrar/unzip the file from archive. Use either Winrar (has a trial period so it can be used for a month or so) or 7zip(freeware).
Copy the file in the game's installation folder, overwritte the original files with the cracked ones

thanks very much i have managed to get it working with out the cd but it hasent stoped the problem, i hoped the reson why the game would not load up was that they was a scratch on the disk ,so with out a disk this problem would go away . aparently not .the game loads up partly and then after the intro video it crashes . anybody offer any advise ?

Might be a conflict with the codecs that you have installed on your HDD. There are a few games that are getting in the conflict with K-Lite and such. But sometimes you can solve that by updating the codecs. Also try updating the videocard drivers and the DirectX. Those two are other possible causes.

also what operating system are you useing
