BV and no CD?
Sivany:
I couldn't find secuROM under services.msc. I have no idea where \windows\system 32 directory is so I can't look in there for anything.
I'm running on Windows XP SP2, I didn't bypass the launcher immediately, although I have now and I always play with the DVD in the drive. Sometimes if I try to start the game up with the internet plugged in and before the computer is good and ready I get a message saying that something could not be verified within the time limit. I can't remember the exact message but I think it's suggesting it's trying to verify that I'm running the game legally. Is that something to do with secuROM?

That would be the SecuROM spyware at work, yes.

If you have the patience, just do a search on your computer for SecuROM ('Start <Search). That's how I discovered that I had it.

Please someone educate me here... :(
Ooh, me too please. I purchased the game but haven't installed it yet. If I install from a pirated image instead of the disk I bought, will I still get the secuROM crap? I am afraid to let this disk anywhere near my computer.

Stupid SecuROM! It doesn't happen everytime and I always try to remember to disconnect the internet before I run the game anyway. With the internet unplugged the game loads faster than it did before I installed BV. With the internet plugged in it takes forever to load, even if I take out all my custom content. So I guess if I'm going to unplug the internet everytime I plaay I don't really need to worry about secuROM because it's not going to be able to send anything to EA with no internet connection is it? Or am I just being overly optimistic there?
ETA: As suggested by Denimjo I searched my computer for SecuROM. All I found was this folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\UserID\Application Data\SecuROM
It was hidden and inside it was a folder called UserData which appeared to be empty. Checking the properties of said folder reveals it to be 0 bytes so I'm sure there isn't anything lurking inside it. Where then is secuROM? (if it's there at all) ???
