Need help using no-cd crack for sims 2 pets

[jochoa85]

I followed all the instructions given, for sims2:pets but when i go to play the game a window pops up saying, "A required security module cannot be activated. This program cannot be executed (5014)." What does this mean, and where did I go wrong? Thanks for the help.

You haven't replaced the main executable so the copy protected original is still in place - that's the one displaying this message.

i thought that might be the problem. where would i find the main exe file? what am i lookig for? and I replace it with the iso link right?

omg....you'd find the original executable on your sims2 dvd.

If you don't know how to find files then ask for a computer-literate's help.

The game folder should have either a "Bin" or "Binaries" subfolder, as far as I recall. It is there that you need to copy the cracked exe to.
