How to get rid of SecuRom, NOW
Jelenedra:
Hmm. I must've had another version on my PC then, because before I reformatted I checked the add/remove and SecuROM was showing up there. Mayhaps I should check my registry then.

But actually, I'm still not able to run ANY Sims-game! dumb as i am I deleted them all cause I thought that then it'd be possible to run it - that was before I found out everything about securom on your page!

Greetings everyone,
I seem to have a problem. I had Securom on my PC and I followed the steps and managed to delete it. However, I'm still not able to run Sims games. Dumb as I am, I uninstalled them all because I thought that then it'd be possible to run it without having it installed. Ths was before I read everything about SecuROM in this thread. I am not able to reinstall my Sims games for an unknown reason. Perhaps I am a mongoltard and forgot how to insert the CD? I don't know why, but I can't run any of them, it doesn't start, nor does it react when i click Autorun.exe or Setup.exe.
So my problem is:
1) I don't have got SecuROM
2) I can't reinstall Sims-Basic version, nor any expansion, of course!
Can you help me?
Fixed.

And this is today's record folks - less than 7 minutes from registering to total error. Adonis, you are appearing less than completely godlike. Think things that eat mud. Read our FAQ and the other stickies in the Podium section on how to post, or more pertinently, how not to post and come across as a complete pratt.
That said, it sounds like you not only got rid of your securom, but also deleted your sims games and all EPs as well, yes? If you want to play them, you will need to reinstall them. If you have borked your registry, or you have made an error uninstalling the game and EPs, that might explain why the install process is failing. We will, in any case, need more information to help you.
Can you tell us in reasonable English, without too many exclamation points, how you "deleted" your game (did you uninstall or just delete stuff from directories), what happens when you put your install disk for the base game in the drive (error messages, nothing, blue screen of death, etc?). I'm assuming your drive is at least working since you seem to be able to see the autorun and setup commands on it.
