Got SecuRom? Get relief.

Yes, whipstickgostop, it has been confirmed. And they very well might be sticking with Sony for the long run... unless another catastrophe happens like it did with some people's computers and BV on a grander scale. Though even then, I highly doubt they'd have too many second thoughts... :?

Thanks Zilla for the link- what I have read seems to be just a waist of time to use this tool…
"SecuROM doesn´t disable any drives.
Please be informed that SecuROM has no influence on the disc recognition under Windows. It appears that the issue is not SecuROM related.
The problem may be caused by an anomaly of your CD/DVD drive or a scratched disc."
It might not disable drivers. Why my new dvd rw is not recognized then? I can't play the sims cds or dvds becuse they are "supposed" to be back up copies and the are originals. Oh, I'm so very, very mad!!!!

It seems to me that EA is shooting themselves in the foot. The old out of sight, out of mind mentality. Not everyone has the memory equivalent to that of a gnat and most people hit by this will definitely remember. It's rather amusing in that EAxis (by refusing to address this) is encouraging folks to use cracked copies just to avoid SecuRom. I buy my games under the undoubtedly niave view that they are "safe". No more. I sit here staring at my shiny, new system, I have to ask myself..."Is it worth it?". I think not. That leaves me with a bitter taste in my mouth and a bunch of useless CDs.

If you restart your computer, each time you plan to play the game - and you start the application from "All Programs", and not from the short cut - you will overcome all obstacles of the Securom, and will be able to enter the game without any problems.
I do it all the time. Never had any problem to play the game.

It's a nice thought, but usually the shortcut and the listing in "All Programs" normally call the same file.
Maybe your just one of the lucky people who can play the EP's without the code knocking your CD/DVD drive into orbit!
It really does seem to be a hit and miss problem. Some systems run the new EP's with no problems. Other systems have a mental breakdown...
I'm not playing devils advocate here (honestly I'm not!) But it seems that there has to be a common factor between the systems that are having problems?
