BV and no CD?
Jelenedra:
Yuck. This is getting so confusing. So, even if I reformat and install the game, I may STILL get SecuRom even if I use a no-CD crack?
squish:
I reformatted last week and re-installed the game and am using a no-CD crack, and there's no obvious trace of SecuROM on my PC (nothing in the registry, nor do I have the Application Data folder), so I'd say you should be fine.

There's no reason why you should have to reformat. Hell, I didn't even uninstall BV. I just downloaded the Fairlight(sp?) no-cd.exe and replaced my Sims2Ep6.exe with it. I checked the desktop shortcut to make sure it wasn't pointing at the launcher, then followed the instructions posted here for removing SecuRom. Easy as can be.
Are you running XP or Vista? The procedure for removing SecuRom might vary for Vista, but other than that, you shouldn't have to jump through flaming hoops to resolve this. If you're set on reformatting anyway, you might as well give the removal a try first.
Jelenedra:
Oh, no. SecuRom isn't why I'm reformatting. *laughs* Sorry, I mentioned it in another thread. I having a virus issue. It keeps restoring itself. I cannot trace the files, and it's mostly adware that only pops up if the internet is connected. So, running google searches for what's busted is difficult.
I don't want to do a google search for most of these ads at work anyways. I might get fired.

Oh... my sympathies. Last time I let someone use my computer they managed to let VirusProtectPro crap get on it. After dealing with those annoying popups... meh! I can understand the desire to scream and reformat. (Of course, it was my own damn fault for not having anti-virus turned on...) Best of luck to you. ;)
