just follow simple instructions.... I didn't beleive it was that simple!!!

and I didn't even waste a cd, I have my image mounted on DT 3.47, no sr7_stop, no prot, shmut or clut, just use curerom.

I use that exact method and it works about half the time. It seems as though this new version of securom is messed up, sometimes detecting emulation when there's not and not detecting it when there is. Look in the Lucasarts tech support forum, the largest thread(s) by far are dealing with the copy protection. Bottom line, until we get a fixed .exe, use trial and error. I have got it to work using curerom 1.31 and antisecurom 1.1 (separately, not in conjunction), but neither one works every time. Don't assume that because it doesn't work once that it won't work at all. Try several times with each (restarting the computer occasionally seems to help, but I could be imagining it). One thing is 100% true in my case at least, it doesn't like Alcohol 120 must uninstall and use DT.

Anybody who tried the Securom_Loader has their windows taken longer to load than usual?

After running Curerom Lite and exiting it afterwards, has anyone experienced a total system crash?

Yes. You have to disable, then exit. Also make sure you have the latest version. When it did it for me it was instant, as soon as I closed my system would reboot.

When I clicked disable, it waited for a while, then the window unfroze (I could move it, suggesting the proccess was over, disabled). I then clicked the X and every program on my computer crashed, AND I got the clock saying comp will reboot in x seconds. Win2k here. Is that the problem? Also, I couldn't download the miniimage. I tried practically every method and none worked, EVEN THOUGH the game did launch the first time I tried it. It's a paradox.

Well, things aren't so rosey here. Granted I can run the game every time without the disc, now my computer takes forever to load and for some reason, now I can't run MSCONFIG.

So yeah, instead of playing the game I have been fucking with for the last week, now I'll troubleshoot my PC.


Awesome.

Yes, in fact I have disabled everything unless I want to run the game. Windows would load to my background, but it took far longer than usual to actually have access to Windows.

Do you have a 64 bit CPU by anychance?

I've got the DVD version of the game, but the Spanish version one. I've tried everything u all posted here: cureROM, Alcohol 120%, DT, AntiSecuROM, and nothing worked for me. I only get it to work once, but i can't make it again. Is it possible that the guys of Lucasarts had put another protection in the Spanish version? I don't want to uninstall my Alcohol or my DT for just one game, as i use them a lot, although the game was a little bit expensive . Still no news of a noCD or noDVD fix? Wanna playyyyy!!!

I'm sorry for posting again, but I've just seen the CureROM profile hosted in gamecopyworld, and it finally works!!! What a game, man . TY, GCW guys!

Why yes I do. Why do you ask?

All my problems seem to be fixed after some late night tinkering. So the game works without the disc and my computer seems normal.

I think its CPU vs Securom_loader problems. I have an AMD 64 also so must be that.

If none of the methods work, it's possible that your image is bad. Try downloading the mini-image.
