BV and no CD?
angelyne:
A good reformat is my prefered options as well. Faster, cleaner, it improves performances, and cleans out a load of crap other than whatever bug you're infected with.
Most people aren't set up to make that easily, so thus all the effort invested in formatting
If you reformat, i recommend (to anyone really) that you divide your computer into two partitions. Reserve a good 40 GB (at least) for system files, and the rest for data. There is a way that you can tell windows to use a documents and settings folder on a different drive (not just my document). It involves making a change in the registry (OMG!!!!111) This way, anytime you feel a need to reformat, it's just a matter of sticking your CD in, or better yet, loading your ghost image. All your data, favorites, settings are preserved.

Oh, I don't plan on doing it myself. There's something wonky about something. I forget what it was. I had big long ordeal about it a year ago. My SATA, VIAS Raid, or BIOS or something. And I can't remember if the guy that reformatted it last time found the files I needed in what I gave him, or if he found them somewhere else.

I installed a no cd crack nearly 2 weeks ago. I had never launched the game from the disk at any time. I've been aware of all these SecuRom issues for weeks. I've seen the panic and I know the last thing you should do is Scream "Oh SecuROM has killed me!". So earlier today I had issues arise. I didn't think anything of it but when I couldn't fix the issue myself i called Dell support. These issues include a slew of "bad image" pop up warnings from windows but the programs end up running alright. Also there was no content in the control panel and it would not allow me to do a system restore. Dell helped me fix most of these issues (the bad image errors still occur) and I did a system restore. This is where the red flag for securom occured. My Mcaffee is now telling me I'm not protected, it has to be reinstalled and the detection signature is 30 days old. This version is supposed to be good throughout the duration of my warranty which is 3 years. I still don't want to scream SecuRom here, because when I look for SecuROM i don't find it, but i'm not as computer literate as I need to be to know how to search the registry for anything. I'm sure I'm about to end up reinstalling vista and losing everything I had, I don't know anything about reformatting the hard drive... If I never ran or launched disk... are my problems from SecuRom or not?

I just installed BV last night and I cannot even run the game with the game CD in the drive. I think that I have about had it with EA and Eaxis. I truly hope that this last stunt of theirs costs them dearly. They will never see another dime from me as long as they use SecuROM. Now I have the fun of trying to remove the SecuROM malware from my computer. Sony has just lost me as a customer as well. No more Sony TVs in this house from here on out.
I did try using a nocd exe and it started the game. I have not played the game yet, but I am hoping that it will solve my problem.

Sony and EA have warchests of profits that make Microsoft look tiny and pathetic in comparison. Trust me, they don't care what their customers think.
The only people hurting from EA and Sony screwing around are the retailers. Even Walmart is going to have to rethink putting EA crap on their shelves if this shit keeps up.
