So now I am wondering because she had done this does she have Securerom on her pc now?
SecuROM installs itself as soon as the original exe that comes with it (in this case, the M&G exe) is run. So if she played M&G already, then yes. If she just installed it without playing afterwards, then no.

I was also looking for a new nocd patch for M&G and was not able to find one that was workable. I have worked with them in the past and would like to stick with them jsut cant find one.
There is one which works just fine on gamecopyworld. The link to GCW must be in this thread somewhere, or google.

Well it happened had a no cd on the free time daughter went in and downloaded the Mansion and Garden on it. You guessed it the patch was not remove from the last EP.

This is a perfect example of a post that deserves sporking for extremely poor use of punctuation, grammar, sentence structure, use (or non-use) of capital letters in proper places, etc. However, I (and I suspect others as well) sometimes feel that if the person is "not of the English-speaking world", some leniency might be granted. How to tell the ESLs from the true idiots, is the issue. If persons could indicate on their profile where (broadly speaking) they are hailing from, this would be easier. Considering that this is unlikely to happen, we must make our own judgements, if ESL has not been specifically and explicitly invoked.
YOUR PARAGRAPH - NONSENSICAL!!
That said, you can not get secuROM on a machine simply by leaving a no-cd in. Once you patch your game, it is patched, and you leave the patch. When you add a new EP, you need to get the no-cd for the new EP (if it is a later EP than any others in your game). If you play without the no-cd for the latest EP, the disk will install secuROM on your system. However, having a no-cd for an earlier EP still on the system will have no relevant effect.
If your daughter played an M&G game without a no-cd crack, you have secuROM.
Also, it is not really a "patch" - try searching Gamecopyworld for a "no-cd crack" or a "no-dvd crack".

I went to the site suggested. I then downloaded the no dvd fix. Sims2MansionAndGardenStuffv1.0NoDVDFixedexeEng.7z. This format is not familiar to me. The no-cd patches I have done in the past were in the format of exe. Also on the game site it mentions that this would be in a winrar or other zip program and it was not . Not sure if I am down loading the right item. Would appreciate some help.
Thank you

.7z is a kind of zip format. Winrar should open it. You will find the .exe file inside.

Dumb question here about the removal tool download. Is that supposed to be in Winzip form ? Cause I'm getting an executable file and am not getting any kind of installation message. Sorry about this but I am so ready to be rid of SecuROM I am willing to take all prodding with sticks and other insults to get it off my computer. :P
