Yeah, so how do you find out if they're required to give you a disc? Is it nationwide or only for certain states?
Now I'm starting to believe they changed the law after that class action was won, because I can not find any information about it. Curiouser and curiouser. I'll go through my paperwork this week and see if I can find the letter informing me of the back-up disc.
Edit: I may have been talking though my ass, because all I could find on line was:

Which is a copy of an Email someone received. It seems the reason the disc I received was due to the fact HP provided back up on the hard drive. I'll do more research, because I'm pretty sure the notice I received noted I had the right to request a back-up disc free of charge for any computer.

I tried the new suckRot removal tools (for BV, H&M, TS), they didn't remove the registry keys (the don't delete one and the userdata one). maybe because I didn't uninstall BV or the others...
anyway, I put in the no-cd exe, game works but I still get those annoying random 5 second freezes.

You're surprised? I doubt it's because you didn't uninstall BV. It's prolly because the Maxis-supported tools don't actually remove SecuROM. Yet another placebo thrown to the masses.

nope, wasn't surprised at all. I wouldn't have bothered to check if I had actually trusted them to do it right.
Oh, there was also another registry key under Local Machine that got left behind.
Skye:
It didn't remove for me either, and good ol' maxoidsam told me that I was the only one it didn't remove for. I wondered, then, if it could be the music I had checked out at the library, or music I'd bought for my daughter that had securom in it.
How come all the others are able to get it off their computers? I know it isn't the windows media 11, cos that program is on two different computers--one that has issues, and one that doesn't.
And why is it so hard for the darn company of EA/Mazis to put out a stupid game that doesn't have the darn securom anyways? They told us there are only a few of us that have issues. Well, why don't they offer those "few" the game without the securom? And why the heck are they continuing with the next eps-to have securom in those games as well?
frustrated, I'm still trying to get rid of the securom in my computer....trying to use the tutes you guys put up. I did figure out one thing....I'm a tard! I can't understand it all....I am trying though.
REally Frustrated,
Skye
