NeroImage, too?! Someone, please, confirm. (I always do a minimum Nero installation, don't have this one installed.)

Thanks for the replies. No, I don't have AnyDVD or NeroImage. The closest I have to imaging is my Norton Anit-virus has a 'Install Norton Ghost' button. It's not installed though.

Just for the record, I have Alcohol 120, Nero, CloneCD, CloneDVD, AnyDVD and Blindwrite installed and I dont recieve emulation messages when playing Battlefield 2.
Admittingly I dont let AnyDVD autostart, I start it manually when needed, and I also dont have NeroImage enabled. Not that I can confirm if these 2 programs would indeed be a problem for BF2?
I use a self created mini image to play BF2 online without problems.

So for you Malygris you may have to go thru the hassles of contacting EA to help you with your problem.

Why the fuck can't the copy protection identify the problematic software explicitly in its error message, I wonder...

Joe, you hit the nail right on the freaking head. IMO, the blasted error message should definitely include the name of the software that is causing the message. It'd make it a heckuva lot easier to nail down exactly what is causing the problem.

Actually, in the unprotected version of Securom 7-protected (or is it some other copy protection? don't remember exactly!) executables, you can find a big amount of textual references (including software names) to virtual CD/DVD emulators and similar software, even several versions of them. So, when the copy protection finds out the problematic software, it probably even knows its version number!

Displaying it would help legitimate customers as well as the publisher/developer a lot, while solving problems, not only crackers. (Also, I think crackers don't give a fuck about such error messages anyway.. )

You might wanna add this idea to your report, let them suffer a bit with making up a reply that explains why this idea is bad (while we all know it is good).
