F.E.A.R. problem, I updated it, now it wont run

[A is 4 PiMp]

I have FEAR on my computer. I used daemon tools to mount the image and then SR7Stop to hide the thingy (i dont know what it hides, I was just going by my friends directions). I recently downloaded the updated version of the game because it kept prompting me to, now I cant play it because now after I hide the drive or something with SR7Stop and click on the FEAR icon I get an error message stating, "A required security module can not be activated. This program can not be executed". Any suggestions?

disable all image mounting tools etc(daemon and sr7)

use your original and see if that works

[WardoggOne]

does it work with your original?

I never updated 1.1, as people reporting problems with 1.2, and I finished the game already w/o a glitch - except the poor speed on my PR3800+ machine with 6800 Ultra...

BTW, I found, that blocking these servers:

127.0.0.1 fear.available.gamespy.com
127.0.0.1 motd.gamespy.com

into your hosts file, make the Fear stop complaining that it want get updated to v1.2

Errrr

127.0.0.1 is the local machine IP address

i presume he meant editing the hosts.dat file and puting those entries in so they become 127.0.0.1 when resolved and thus cant connect
