MutantBunny:
Has anyone tried to remove the SecuRom crap and just use the noCD exe?

That's how I run it now -- no image, just the no-cd exe. Runs fine.
MutantBunny:
how did you remove the registry entries for the SecuRom?

Oh, I see what you mean. I didn't bother doing that, but I'm sure a Google search would turn up a bunch of methods and/or utilities to do so.
B:
To stop SecuROM from running:
Winkey + R, type "services.msc" (no quotes) in the dialog and hit enter.Stop the "SecuROM User Access Service" and then disable it.In your \Windows\System32 directory, find and delete the file called "UAService7.exe".Winkey + R again, and execute "sc delete useraccess7" (again, no quotes).
Keep in mind, some copy protections can install under different names (for example, you might have UAService8.exe instead of 7). I can only tell you where I found the protection. The service should always have the same name, and so long as you disable this, it doesn't actually matter whether or not you find the exe. If you are really concerned, I can work with you via the PM module to locate and destroy the actual file.
Also, this does not delete the registry entries, it merely makes it impossible for the SecuROM service to hog system resources. Unlike Starforce, SecuROM registry entries are not dangerous. In fact, removing them can lead to system instability. However, if you really want to kill them, they are generally located at:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SecuROM
Hope this helps you.
