How to get rid of SecuRom, NOW
SealJuice:
OMG. I have been trying to get my Sims2 game to work for two years. I'd get tired of trying and then come back to it afew months later. I finally have determined that it wouldn't launch because of Securerom. No error messgaes. It just doesn't launch.
Not being smart enough to follow all of the instructions to remove Securerom, I reformatted my HD, did a clean install of TS2 and all EP's, then got the no-cd crack for M&G like the Great Pescado said. Everything was fine for a few days. I kept checking my regedit and was delighted to see no Securerom there.
Today, Securerom is back and my game won't launch again. I installed Civ IV last night, but I thought it would leave my Sims game alone. The only other things I have installed are SimPE and Delphy's Organizer, so it seems that any Securerom game will bork me.
*sobs*
Those Securerom bastards want screenshots of the error message. There isn't one. I hate them and I throw my stuffed animals at the wall while I curse them!
P.S. It looks like it was the EADM that re-infected me. Half my EP's are from there, so it got me. Trying to follow instructions for removal now.

Ok, still tryin'. Have read about a third of this thread.
I'm stuck on step 8 here- http://reclaimyourgame.com/content.php?499-add-new-section which says
08. Now type in the following SecuROM Remover.exe /fulluninstall then press the Enter key on your keyboard.
When I try to run SecureROM Remover.exe /fulluninstall in DOS it says "SecuROM is not recognized as an internal or external command."
I also tried moving the securom files to the root of c:, rather than in their own directory as the installer places them.
Any suggestions? Thank you.

When a program file has a space in the name, you need quotes around it. Try:
"SecureROM Remover.exe" /fulluninstall
or else, rename the EXE and remove the space.

That worked. Thank you.
Thanks to Pescado, Saraswati, and Mootilda.
My game is still not launching. It does nothing when I double click the no cd-crack, which was working fine yesterday before securom showed up. I'm going to try reinstalling that, though I don't see how it shoudl matter.
I must love the Sims2. Any other game I would have given up on this years ago.

Well, it is back again and my game won't launch.
After years of this, I am ready to give up. No game is worth this.
