How to get rid of SecuRom, NOW
mildlydisguised:
Well you may be able to free up a bit of RAM by closing background tasks but I can't imagine it would make much difference. You might want to look into getting more RAM for your computer, if you are having a lot of problems with slow gameplay.
Personally I wouldn't advise turning off your virus protection in case you want to browse the internet whilst playing the game or in case you forget to turn it back on after playing.
morriganrant:
It depends on your virus scan, your computer and the other programs running if closing them would help you any.
I close down anything I can get away with, including explorer.exe, but leave my virus scan on as well as my browser. Some virus scans are hogs though. Like Norton and it may help your game play to close that as well, but you should disconnect from the net before you do so and remember to turn it back on before you connect to the net again.

ok.. curious on something.. i have avoided buying any of the EPs/SPs with SecuRom on them so as to not get it on my comp, but if i am reading this post right, if i install the game but don't use the exe file that comes with it, securom won't get installed.. is that right? so basically, if i buy the games, get the no cd patch from the internet and use that instead from the very beginning, i won't have to deal with it. if its that easy, then i can begin to jump for joy and get more of my games. if not, please tell me.
Basically, that's it. Good summary of the whole situation, actually.

As long as you're installing it on the administrator account on your PC.
If you install it using a non-admin account then the process is
- install from disc
- remove securom
- run from no-CD exe
