How to get rid of SecuRom, NOW
wolfskies:
Well, I have two related problems.
1) I have Sims and expansions up to FT. I found SecuRom on my PC, and tried to follow the directions to get rid of it. The only thing I can find is the registry keys, not any folder. The first step with the DLL file didn't show anything. I searched my registry and didn't find any null files.
My game on my PC won't load a house now, it just crashes, and I am unsure if just deleting the registry keys will take care of the problem. I am running Sims on Windows XP on the Administrator account on my desktop.
Anyway, I got frustrated and installed it on my laptop and used the No CD Crack... on to problem 2.
2) The CD Crack for FT works fine except one thing. I can't use the CTRL-SHIFT-C anymore! I type the keys and it don't work! I checked my computer to see if any hot keys were assigned to that function but didn't find any. I am running Windows Vista Premium on my Laptop.
Any ideas? I have tried all the downloads at GameCopyWorld and all of them work, but none allow me to pull up the cheat window.

Apparently there are several other programs, particularly on a laptop, which use that combination of keys. If you figure out which one, disable or change the keys the program wants and you regain control of Ctrl Shift C for the sims.

Well, I have looked and looked. Funny thing is, nothing opens when I press the keys outside the game. Shouldn't it load something if the keys are pressed? I have a program on my desktop that had that problem. It loaded Trillian. I don't have that installed on my laptop yet, or I would be looking at it for that. I guess I will just have to keep opening every program on my laptop and see if it has those keys listed. Joy!

Do a search here, I'm sure I've read of just this problem recently but also some time before that. I didn't pay much attention because I didn't have the problem, but I have an idea it was things that are specific to laptops, like power saving programs or whatever.

I found it. I did a couple of searches on the internet and found that HP Health Check has that set as their short cut key. Then I just had to do a search for the program and change the properties to none. Thank GOD! It was so sucky having to play with no money cheat.
Thanks for your help! :)
