How to get rid of SecuRom, NOW
AnnaM:
Is this Securom thing a US concern only? I have all the EPs to Free Time installed (and none of the SPs), and I don't appear to have a Securom directory under Application data or the Securom files in the Windows\System32 directory. My games were bought in shops in Ireland. I seem to remember reading somewhere that Securom only applied in some countries.
Is this true? If so, would it be a good idea to explain it in the top post in this thread?
Jemina:
It's definitely not a US problem, I had the thing from the German version of BV and FT. You can't normally see the Securom folders as they're hidden, you have to make them visible.
morriganrant:
There are a random few countries that do not have them because Securom would be illegal there. There are however many many more countries where it hasn't been covered. Make all of your folders visible and look for the securom files, you will not see them otherwise.
AnnaM:
My folders are all visible -- unless there is some arcane way of making folders visible beyond checking the "show hidden files" setting in Windows...
AnnaM:
Curiouser and curiouser... I do have 2 Securom keys in the registry.
But I definitely do not have the Securom folder or the Securom files. I even searched the whole disk for them (with option to find hidden files/folder checked). Also no services running (which makes sense, since there are no files for them to run from...)
Also, why does this forum not let me edit my posts? I click the icon, edit the post, press the button, all seems well except my post isn't edited. Happened many times before, too, not just a fluke.
