securom 13001 error

[TippeX]

Anyone experiencing a 13001 error when running a securom exe?, some of the recent updates keep giving me this error, im not using any loaders or anything and can't quite figure out whats causing it

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?

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...
