Question Arghhhhhh! I need advice....

Hi, I bought Battlefield 2, and upon trying to run I get the infernal Cd/Dvd emulation software message. The thing is I don't have, nor have I ever had, any Cd emulation software installed. If there is such software on my machine, I'm utterly ignorant of its existence. Has anyone else had a similar experience, and if so, what did you do? Is there a list of ALL of this cd/dvd emulation software somewhere so I can go through my installed programs and check for it? I don't have CD Clone, I don't have Alcohol, or any of the others (Daemon, etc) TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE.

This happened one time before with another game. I spent almost two weeks with Activision cust support to absolutely no avail. I ended up taking the darn game back to Walmart (luckily, they accepted it back), and just got a refund. Activision gave up on it (they wanted me to format my machine and reinstall everything??? I told them to, well you can guess...) But now this is an EA Games product, and the exact same problem....

I would sincerely appreciate any constructive advice, and a list of all of this software. If it's on my computer, I'll gladly get rid of it. But looking through Program Files, I can't spot anything. I do have CDex (converts music cd's to mp3's), and PowerDvd (my dvd player).

No, I don't have CDClone, or Clone DVD, installed. See statements in post above.

I did read the FAQ.

Most of these CD Emulation errors people post questions about are because they have emulation software installed. They blissfully uninstall their Alcohol or whatever, and they're up and running.

Here's the catch.

I don't have CD Emulation software.

I don't have DVD Emulation/clone software.

But I DO have this problem.

Is there anything else that anybody knows that would cause the software to think I have cd emulation (when I don't).

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