"SECURITY MODULE" error, what is it?

[BarryB]

Add Starforce Nightmare 1.12 to the list. If it's still open when you run a Securom 7 game you will get this message:

A required security module can not be activated. This program can not be executed.

So if you use SFN to disable your CD/DVD drives make, sure you exit it before running your game.

Okay, gonna be added later. Thanks!

AnyDVD to it.
Has nothing to do with circumventing game-protections, but is blacklisted, too.

anydvd i think does atip hiding, could be the reason, i may be wrong though

[Grumpy]

even AnyDVD and perhaps CloneDVD (you may need to uninstall this).

Just for the record, I have both these programs installed but I dont let them autostart, I only start them when I need them yet I dont ever see these security messages or any other emulation messages. So I would say it is not necasary to uninstall them, just turn them off, especially AnyDVD.

[DABhand]

CloneDVD yes, but AnyDVD and other emulating/hiding programs can be closed.

Ahhh, so "disable" them means: make them disappear from the tray. Got it! (I hate having lots of programs running, eating resources, and messing into the tray! Like Grumpy, I also manually start them, only when needed...)
