Is it EU 1 or EU 2? If you have EU 1, contact Strategy First, they have a patch for this. Look at the "Support options" thread, you'll find their e-mail adress there.

If you have EU 2 you should try using VPC 5.0 first, if possible.

[EDIT]
I have seen your other post.

ok, EU 2 and Securom (the copy protection used on the CD) will not work with VPC 4 or 5. There are unofficial patches available off the web, but once you have installed it, it will only work with EU 2 1.01 and not with the future patches. You will need to reinstall the game everytime you want to update it and then find a new unofficial patch.

However, I can't tell you where to find it as this is illegal (even when you legally own the software, in the US, such things are illegal).

Note that it can be possible that even with such a patch, EU 2 will not run with VPC 4 and you might require VPC 5.0. Judging by the config info another user posted about VPC 4.02, you should be ok, but I cannot guarantee it.

Aaka, see this thread.

Send a Private Message (using the PM button under his nick) to Kevin and ask him how he solved his problem. I don't know if he got it to work on VPC 4.02, but he did have it work with VPC 5.0. So, I cannot confirm you if it will work with 4.02, but he will be able to as he is a mac user like you.
