Since you don't appear to be able to locate your shift key, I would have to say yes.
Here's what it looks like.

I have scanned the readme visually, but see no mention of the word SecuRom...maybe I'm missing it OR...maybe FEAR has it too...Is there a list somewhere of games that contain SecuRom, other than the Sims 2 Eps ?
Use this for your game protection hunting:

Ok...taking a risk here and hoping that this question hasn't been asked a dozen times already....(ps. I DID read a ton of the previous pages, but it becomes very overwhelming to someone that is NOT very computer savvy and wants help)
I have ALL of the expansions...I have zero Stuff Packs...I have installed the second Free time patch on my computer...
I have also determined that I HAVE SecuRom.
So, the question is...
Does anyone know if the game F.E.A.R has SecuRom in it as well? I performed a simple file search on my documents for securom, and I got a result from the readme file in my Program Files/Sierra/FEAR directory.

You can also use a program called Protection ID where you scan the exe for the game and it tells you what protection is being used (if any) and some other tidbits.

First of all ... BAAAH for making a spot where SecuROM is discussed in an intelligent and mature manner, it is really refreshing ;)
I do not have had any, visible, issues with SecuROM yet, but I got curious about how all this remove-SecuROm-stuff works + I would like to start using a NOCD, to spare my DVD, so I went on with the instructions that Zazazu gave us in the first post. It appears that Iīm in the same situation as Tchan, Tsarina, Lullabelle and TashaFaun ...
I get to this part of the instructions:
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.
but there isnīt any key that match that description. ???
I have all EPīs and SPīs except for IKEA SP + I have downloaded the free SPORE trial and tested it out ... SecuROM should be there by now, right ???
I have Norton Antivirus/Internet Security ... someone mentioned that that could have an affect, canīt find the post right now.
So ... can I sit back and relax or did I miss something ? I did try to read all the posts in this thread, but it is a long thread and if I may quote psikfreak

I'm computer literate enough to realize just how illiterate I am
If I do have SecuROM lurking somewhere and canīt get to it, can I install a NOCD crack anyway or will SecuROM protest and prevent me from playing ...
