How to get rid of SecuRom, NOW
jsalemi:
The no-cd crack is what you want -- it replaces the game .exe. Save your original .exe somewhere (I just zip it up and leave it in the same folder), because you'll need to restore it when the patch comes out so the patch can be applied. You'll need to get a new no-cd.exe for the patched version, though, so don't be in a rush to patch until the revised .exe is available.

Okay, so I've managed to delete SecuRom (I think I did it right! lol. No errors!) and apply the No-CD crack, because the game loaded with it. Go me!
Thanks for explaining about the patch and the updated NO-CD crack, I will be patient until I see the new version - whenever that is! However, one quick question: Should I not keep the original EXE just out in the open in the same folder as the NO-CD one? I renamed the crack and the game loaded up fine, with the original EXE in the same folder.

Where is your shortcut pointing to, out of curiosity? Just having a crack does not mean you are running it.

Yes, you can keep the original .exe in the folder. My question now is, if you renamed the no-cd.exe the same name as the original, did it not overwrite the original? Or did you rename the original something else first?
I generally name the no-cd crack something like ALno-cd.exe, and point the shortcut to it, leaving the original .exe intact. That way I don't have to rename things again when I want to install a new EP.
Bronxboy:
Yes, I left the original .EXE with the original name, and named the crack ALNOCD.exe actually! :)
I didn't rename the original .EXE in case the crack wouldn't work and I would need to use the original method. Thankfully though, its all working. I have the CD away in its case and the game running all by itself. ;)
