How to get rid of SecuRom, NOW
dragonarts:
Yay! Thank you to all who helped with instructions and links in this thread. I am now Securom free. Eaxis has no one but themselves to blame for it either because all I really wanted to do was play from an image of my own disk instead of using the CD, and it wouldn't play nice. (Freetime) Now I'm using the no-crack because I couldn't get it to load from the image. It kept whining about the original disk needing to be in drive F, even though I installed the game from the image (virtual drive G)
So there, Securom. You're toast. By the way, I found the instructions at the beginning of the thread quite easy to follow.
Also, (quite off topic so you're welcome to poke me with sticks ;P) I read with interest the discussion of age and who remembers which dinosaur computers. Who remembers the Radio Shack 2k thingy? That was the first one I ever tried to use. It was concurrent with the first Apple computer, I believe. No one misses it. The first one I actually owned was a Commodore 64, which I poked around on. It didn't actually make me computer literate, unfortunately. I am NOT a programmer by nature. It was fun though.

Hi! I just got BV (a bit late I know) today. I installed and patched it, and then remembered about the whole securom-thing. Ouch! I havn't actually started the game yet though, does that mean I'm still securom-free?
I thought I'd jump right to Zazazu's step 4, but I'm a complete no-cd noob and there are 3 versions to dl at the place where the link leads to. Is it the v1.10.0.130 I should go for?
(Oh, and I did a search before I asked, I just wasn't sure how up-to-date the info I got was, since it was mostly from back when BV came out.)
bowrain:
You are still securom free if you installed the game from an administrator account. For the crack, look for the game version. If you installed the latest patch, then yes the 1.10.0.130 is the right one.
dotty:
Yes, I just dl:ed the patch today. For future reference though, where do I find out what game version I have?
Well, I guess I'll try it out then, and see how it works... Thanks!

Turn on the testing cheats -- the version number will appear in the upper right corner, at least on the neighborhood screen (and maybe everywhere -- I don't really notice it anymore :) ).
