How to get rid of SecuRom, NOW
TimeStop:
Alright, so I've read the entirety of this topic (to which I am heretoforth eternally greatful) and the only question I've still got in regards to avoiding SecuROM is this:
Is there any benefit to buying the EPs as many people on this topic still seem ready to do if you are simply going to use a No-CD anyway besides the legal side of it and perhaps getting a serial number?

I like to own a physical copy of the disk--call it a security blanket--and to be at least nominally legal. But the only purely practical benefit to using a legit copy as opposed to non-legit is that you don't have to mess with torrents or Daemon Tools or any of that to install the thing.

You don't actually run RegDelNull. You just install it on C:\. Then go to the Windows command prompt and follow the rest of the directions.
For those of us non techie types: How do I install it on c:\ and get the directions?
You download the regdelnull application as directed and save it to your C:\ drive's root directory. If you get it zipped, make sure you unzip it so that the file in C:\ is called regdelnull.exe. Then you follow the directions on the first page of this thread. Install = put it on the C:\ drive in this case.
If you are still having difficulty figuring this out, you may wish to ask a friend/family member more familiar with DOS commands to help you. Playing with the registry without any knowledge of what you are doing may be hazardous to your system's health. If you proceed, follow directions EXACTLY as written in the tutorial.

We have a similar words in English: "henceforth" and "grateful".

Hmmm. That's a tough one. Let's see. Many of us don't care about the legal side, since we don't care to give out a lot of personal information and so we don't register our games anyway. So much for the legal side. If you arrr! a copy of the game, there are keygens which take care of all that "protection" crap - so much for needing the serial number. If you use an arrr! copy and a no-cd crack, you don't run the risk of having suck-u-ROM debilitate your machine.
Nope, you got me. I can see no particular advantage or benefit, apart from having the colourful and friendly looking CD case with the official "artwork" to clutter up your bookshelf.

So the No-CD is like any other "arr!"ed program once you install it as opposed to something that functions within the installation of the legal copy of the game then. Although I suppose that isn't really a question as it's kind of redundant; that just makes sense.
And sorry for my inability to use proper English.

It basically just replaces the game's .exe file with an exact duplicate minus the SecuROM. Everything else comes off the CD, torrent, whatever you used to install.
