I ordered The sims 2: Free Time Limited Edtion game on Amazon just a few ours ago, and then I started hearing about this "SecRom" thing that can mess up the computer on Win. !? I have a New Toshiba Vista Laptop and REALLY don't want it to be ruined by playing the game (Sims 2 and free time) that I've been wanting for a LOOONNGG time! What's the FIRST steps I shoyld take in making sure my laptop stays in great shape as it has been and STILL play Sims 2 (the EP'S) AND Sims 3??
Removing securom is not a single step - you should do all of them. If you do only one step, it comes back. That said:
1) get the securom removal tool posted by MaryH a few posts above yours. Follow the instructions to remove securom, including using ccleaner and regdelnull (included with the download). Alternatively, you can follow the instructions in the first post of this thread to remove securom completely.
2) get a no-cd or no-dvd crack from Gamecopyworld for your latest EP. If you do not have AL or M&G, then FT will be your latest EP (once your copy arrives). Install the game normally, but do not launch it until you install the no-cd crack. Make sure your desktop icon points to the no-cd crack to launch the game (not to the original .exe file or the launcher - never use the launcher).
If you do step 1 without doing step 2, securom will reinstall itself the next time you play your game.
If you still have questions, read our FAQ, and the first post of this thread. Additionally, there are 37 pages of information specifically related to problems with securom and how to remove it in this thread. Read them.

MaryH:
Sorry, that's not in our skill-set. 8)
