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.
Possibly, because many people are sheep and believe what they are told. Most don't know where to look for the traces either. A folder that was there, no longer being there, "Woo! It's gone!". Many are nervous about looking in the registry and wouldn't know what to look for in the first place.
Skye:
There are so many in there who are so "grumpy" (yep, I'm censoring m'self) that you're almost afraid to give your opinion about anything. I've been getting nasty letters in my guest book even.
They are indeed sheep, who don't want to believe their beloved company would do that to them. Surprise?
witch:
Their machines are probably also riddled with spyware/malware, have a zillion toolbars in IE - because of course they still use that - take 10 minutes to boot and load 15 non-needed services in the system tray. The majority have probably completely failed to notice their machines are running crappily because for them that is the status quo.
Zazazu:
Huh? You mean, like, someone coming over to your house and doing it? Do you like getting axe-murdered? We don't really do that here. Prison's a bitch.
No offense meant, but take it if you feel it...you come off as very young. Perhaps it's best to get a parent to follow the instructions for you. If you closely follow them, you aren't going to touch any non-SecuROM registry keys.

I did get the tools to remove all SecuROM off my PC. This is what I did, I ran the tools with the game installed, rebooted. Than un-installed the games (with SecuROm), ran the tools again, rebooted. I checked all the files in the registry where it ad been before & found Zero, not even empty files. I am not a BBS sheep, I believe nothing unless I have tested it for myself. This one worked for me. But, I am reading where it has not for others. Maybe for the same reason SecuROM affects some of our PC's & not others ?
I did get rid of Windows Media players since the game first came out. Only because I never used it & there was some reports on the BBS of possible issues. I had a lot of trouble with SecuRom, so I removed it too see if it might help. I also changed my anti virus program & dumped Norton. I don't know why I can play BV now glitch free (thanks to hacks from this site).
I do not have any tool bars installed & keep my PC clean.
As for the OP about Skye, she may be young at heart, but she is a grandmother, not a child. She came here as many of us do to see if someone more awesome than ourself has answers. Often
we do not need to ask the question, the answers are already here. She has been trying hard to get answers on the BBS. Those willing to help, do not have answers for her.
Perhaps now her only answer it to go to the agrrrr sites now & enjoy her games again.
