You can bypass most new game protections including SecuROM 7 with the registry/permissions hack.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi

set Administrator permissions to deny your Virtual Drive (varies with your computer so check each or deny to the entire group).

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices

set Administrator permissions to deny access there too

(to completely deny access you must go into advanced and uncheck the box for 'inherit from parent the permission...' and when given the option, choose 'copy' and then apply and ok.

also, change the parameters/name of your virtual drive as the default names given by Daemon Tools is blacklisted.

I used this on both of my computers, which both have fresh installs of XP. It did not work on them before the fresh install as there were most likely something else preventing it. Enjoy.

p.s. This has worked on every game I have tried it on. Battlefront II, all EA Sports 06 series, F.E.A.R., AoE III, Brother in Arms EIB, Quake 4, etc...
