How to get rid of SecuRom, NOW
Lord Darcy:
It can cause a problem in USB devices as well.
The reason MaxoidFucktardSam claims that only about 150 customers contacted EAxis with SecuRom issue is, most average users don't ever imagine their legitimately bought game can fuck up the system in such a malware-like fashion. If their burning software no longer works, they'll go to local repair shop, or contact the manufacturer of DVD burner. Why would they contact the game company? People assume malwares come only from shady source like porn sites. They don't expect to be infected by malwares just by playing Celine Dion CD from computer.

actually im stuck on teh frist step, because I am unable to locate the Computer Key.
Try the second option for that step:
Quote
Download regdelnull.exe and place it in C:\
Go to "Run" and type in "cmd", then type the following:
cd C:\
regdelnull hkcu -s
regdelnull hku -s
The two regdelnull calls above will scan the whole of HKEY_CURRENT_USER (abbreviated to HKCU) and HKEY_USERS (abbreviated to HKU). It's possible you may find other null registry keys during the scans, since you're not targeting *just* the SecuROM keys doing it this way. regdelnull will prompt you with the full pathname of every key it finds though, which will contain the name "SecuROM" if it's one of the ones you're after, so you can check names and only respond "y" to delete those two.
It's a lot easier than searching.
Might want to do a basic scan on your computer, too. I'm not saying that SecuROM couldn't mess with your getting into Hotmail as I don't have it and don't know how they handle their portal. But it's not something I've heard of before. I personally use McAfee but then also scan with Panda ActiveScan as it seems to find more. Only problem with the free version of Panda is that it only ID's, it doesn't remove. You have to search out removal instructions.

Hi
I'm back finished fighting with trying to back up my system. I have an external so I have been loading it up an moving it to another pc laptop for now.
My drives were so messed up and my USB stick memories to transfer got messed up. Lots of error messages. I also read that the SecuRom will mess things up if your PC has the Media Center on it which mine does. Most people had removed it. Geesh to think I pay for this on my machine and now ... gggrrr ok won't go there....
Sorry about ima's last post i had my daughter type in a call for help and I see what she had typed, I was trying to figure things out and was not making myself clear to her.
This is what I have done so far...
I used the EA Tools.. uuuggghh more Frustration.
I then removed H&M and BV games and used maxis tool. I would like to reinstall and manually remove SecuRom. Once I do this will I be able to use the NOCD and play BV?
I figure I am at this point might as well experiment with it. I am willing to reformat so what do I have to lose. Suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you again for your understanding and any help
Yes, once you get everything fixed, you could if you want play BV with a no cd patch. Just be careful not to start up the game until after you put the crack in, or SecuROM will get installed again. Oh and don't forget to patch BV before you put the no cd crack in. That way you won't be dealing with the NPC spawning/programming error. Just don't start anything up until the crack is in.

You always forget to tell them that they have to install to an admin account. If you install the game to an account that does not have admin privileges then Securom 7.x will install with the game.
