I downloaded the hekkis mini iso image so i didnt have to switch between all of my dvd games (only 1 drive is dvd) and i ran it using alcohol and now whenever i try to run the game even after i deleted the image and am using my disc i get this error message

A required security module cannot be activated. The program can not be activated.

someone please help me out ive had so much bad luck with my pc in the last couple of days and this is an example. Ive reinstalled it 2 times and the message still came up.

thanks

A quick search of the forums would have told you why that message is appearing

@Raid3n
If you had checked the FAQ before posting you would have found this!

Quote:

Common error messages, displayed by copy protections:
A required security module can not be activated. This program can not be executed.
SecuROM 7.x has detected a virtual CD/DVD emulator, an emulator hider software and/or other software that it finds suspicious. Exit all such software (see above), before starting the game. Alternatively, under Windows XP, you can try running the game in Windows 2000 compatibility mode (see above).

I suggest you have a further read through the FAQ yourself.
