yes, except for the fact that unless you are using a no-cd key, even if the removal tool removed it, starting the game installed it again.
Since removing securom I have opened the game twice so far and no problem. I thought it was only if you re-installed the game that you got securom again.
Nope, it's in the exe. It's when on a non-admin account that it installs on game install, on an admin account it will install when you run the game from it's own exe.
What it's done for you, I have no idea, seeing as your computer seems to be confused about who you are.

Since my account seems not to be recognized as an admin account, I guess I'm fooling the exe.
Venusy:
Clarification: it will attempt to install from the .exe regardless of which type of account you're using. The thing installed during a non-admin installation is just so that SecuROM can get admin access so it can install itself later (it might install itself there and then as well, but the key thing is that it installs a module that allows it to reinstall itself from the .exe even if the .exe is run without admin access).

Basically, it's a sneaky little bitch, and getting/using a no-CD crack will make your life easier regardless.

So if I don't know how to get a no-CD crack, then the next best thing would be to follow the instructions on this site about removing securom entirely? I figured that the thing I got on BBS was not as thorough as removing it altogether, but since I am barely functional in terms of understanding how computers work, I was intimidated by the instructions and thought I'd be better off with the thing on the BBS.
