HI! I got a new computer and my BV suddenly started not working. It was giving me this message: "Please insert the original disc and not a backup" so I searched for months for some way to fix it, nothing worked, so I took it off and just played up to Seasons. Well about a month ago I stumbled on a solution to Freetime, posted my question about BV, and promptly forgot to check back! Yesterday I checked back and someone had posted a solution, it didn't work, then I remembered the Freetime fix. And it dawned on me, why didn't I just email SecuRom myself?!!!! So to make a long story short,(too late

) they fixed it! Here is the link to the BV fix and Freetime fix:
