Please note there are TWO different trainers for Spore, one for 1.5 of the regular game and one specifically for GA 1.5. Use the correct one for which game you are playing. Also, the trainers are only designed to work with the retail version, not any digital download versions.
I checked that, and it was the right one but i'm still having the same problem. it keeps crashing my game, it's a legal version which i bought around a week ago...
before i patched it, i had no problems using the other trainer and after the patch i downloaded the right trainer and it doesn't work.
hope u can fix it...
