well I had a big forth-n-back "support battle" going on w. securom themselves - even to the point they sent me a SWEAW.EXE that was almost a meg smaller than the retail-SWEAW.EXE (i wondre what they strippedand you would NOT believe it! Microsoft released a patch that fortified the KERNEL32.DLL against some possible remote-control exploits, and locked-out/booted out securom's protection- scheme!!!
it's the security-patch Windows update KB917422 - IF you uninstall it, the securom v7 affected games like SW EMPIRES AT WAR and the scifi-rts SWORD OF THE STARS will work again - i dont know which else games are affected, but i can think of a bigger number than just these two.
spread the word. securom fracked it up - again!
cheers
