Weird computer problems
Kitten:
Too much effort. (Yes, I know, I suffer from terminal laziness).
dragoness:
It strikes me as a lot less effort than this changing-of-the-programs dance you seem to be doing.
jolrei:
Getting rid of securom takes up to half an hour, if you have to download Regdelnull, read all the instructions, and are using dial up to do all this. The actual process takes only a few minutes, likely no longer than the time it takes to load the game from desktop.
You are talking false economies here.
HomeschooledByTards:
While SecuROM is probably the cause of your problems, it would still behoove you to check for problems with your hardware. If something is about to fail on your computer, it's really best if you know about it as quickly as possible.
Kitten:
Thanks Jesslla, I'm now searching for help with hecking the hardware. I know the hard drive is dubious: there's problems with an older computer in the house with the same make of hard drive, but this one's been recently (nearly a year ago, actually) checked by an IT person while trying to fix a completely different problem, so hopefully it's okay. The memory's okay. Sadly, if something fails, the laptop's doomed. There's not much replaceable parts worth replacing: better value is to replace the whole laptop: something I can't afford.
As for securom, I don't trust my computer skills to do it properly without wrecking something else: all my computer knowledge is self-taught, unless you count ECDL, (which I tend not to: it's not worth much) and an IT course I did years ago (even worse, it just taught me to touch type).
Thanks everyone for your help and advice: it's greatly appreciated.
