securom 13001 error

[Blazkowicz]

And what else does securom say?

Not sure about that error but if you run progs like filemon or regmon they keep a driver resident in memory that securom detects (even after exiting the prog) and gives the 'security module cannot be activated' message and only a reboot will clear the problem.

Could be something you've run prior to the securom app preventing it running?

naw, filemon nor regmon not running (did reboot to make sure..) .. no hiding tools, nothing.. i guess noone else has seen it.. oh well.. time to debug

Have you considered that you actually may have a virus?

[TippeX]

totally 110% sure i do not have a virus, i scanned using many scanners, also checked my system dlls against those on the cd, as well as checking api's for hooks and such, and rookits etc.. virus.. i definately do not have...

HD/mem gone bad?

[TippeX]

nope, replaced that too.. its weird, think its kerio or something, gonna strip the os down, and start checking...

Why would a firewall interfere with the integrity of a file?

Can you get an MD5 of the file on your HD and the one on your disc and check they're the same, if you know which file is the problem one of course?
