[Slovix]

Jesus... I don't get it. YASO doesnt hide my emulated cd-rom (wieved from My Computer) , thats why nwn still detects it !!! How can I fix it?
Lucky you all who can play...

P.S. tryed with latest (1.05) YASO. Same shit.

then how I know does it hide it or not? :O

[TippeX]

well you know if the game works or not
it hides registry keys/data used by securom, NOT by the system

ok nwn 2 isnt workin for me and i will let you guys know what i have done so far, hopefully who had this problem knows how to fix it, i use DT 4.08 and yasu (newest) also curerom (old one)

start!
i mounted the nwn 2 iso (reloaded) on dt to install the game
cracked the game with reloaded crack
no update jus v1.0 and ran the game
IT WORKED OMG.... i created my hardcore dude and started the game, in the tute after i get the fur and talk to the other dude i exit the room, BLUE SCRREN!!! some kind of memory dumb, computer restarts.
ok i skip the tute, BLUE SCREEN, computer restarts

second
i read somewhere that the crack will work for v1.01
reinstalled the game update v1.01 and crack it
same problem

gave up for a few days waiting for a solution

third
found this forums and tired the stuff posted here

reinstalled, update to v1.03, dl the maxi/mini image
disable my cdrom drive from device manager, mounted the maxi/mini image and turned on yasu, hhmm... it just said it encountered an error and needed to exit

forth
reinstalled, updated to v1.03, mount the maxi/mini image, created a profile of nwnlauncher.exe, turned off yasu, it actually worked, but again when i click on that door or exit the tute, blue screen.

i think my problem is different then urs, i can start the game fine but then the blue screen comes up and resrtart right away,

any ideas, do u think the installation is corrupt, should i hide dt during the installation?

man im ganna get the original cd in bout a month but really wanna play this NOW.... thx in advance

sry about that, well this off topic but i need to update my geforce go6600 but nvidia doesnt have drivers for the go 6 series, i also search online and it seems its different with different brands of laptops, well mine is a build to order or custom laptop, doesnt have a brand, any ideas where i might be able to dl the driver??

www.nvidia.com

One file to rule em all basically :P

[Joe Forster/STA]

Agreed, it's not easy to find the drivers for the non-mainstream nVidia GPU's. This page: http://www.nvidia.com/page/forceware_geforce_go.html suggests that the usual nVidia ForceWare drivers are supposed to work with these notebook chipsets, too.

Hi guys, first off thx to everyone who's posted their help so far, I've read through them all and tried various things here is my problem:

I am recieving this error:
"Emulator Detected! Please deactivate virtual drive and emulation software."

I get that error after these steps have been followed:
1. Installed the game v1.0 the updated to v1.03
2. Updated my D-tools to v4.08HE and installed SPTDinst-v138-x86.exe
3. Downloaded and unpacked the #2 of NWN2_bended from GCW
4. Mounted NWN2.mds [the bended image]
5. Tried both of all emulation on and all off and then exited D-tools
6. Ran the shortcut from my desktop
7. Recieved the error

Note: I'll also mention that I did run v1.0, saw the intro cut scene, main menue, created a character and started a campaign but once in the game, something must have been wrong with the graphics because I could hear things and see the main interface but the world was not loaded... info on v1.03 suggests this is fixed in their new version. Also my computer meets all the min requirements based on: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com and Atari's list.

If I to use YASU, I recieve the following error:
"A required security module can not be activated. This program can not be executed."

Could there be any other reasons it still can see i'm using an emulator? Should I try alcohol or something else? The toolset I got with YASU included procyon.exe, I tried to run it.. not really sure what to do with it though.

Any suggestion or guidance as to how I can continue to trouble shoot would be great. I really wouldnt want to physically disconnect my DVD drive, but it sounds like most people didn't need to do that.

Thx guys,
M

Update: Ok I tried with Alcohol today, no change, NWN2 still finds that I'm using emulation software. Is there another program like YASU that NWN2 wont recognise by chance?

Thx for your help,
M

[TippeX]

yasu 1.05?

[doomerdgr8]

Try the Posiden image It is the only working image. I even compressed it using NTFS compression.

Tested: YASU v1.05, DT v4.08, NWN v1.3
I don't know/use any SPTDinst-vxxx.exe

[TippeX]

you may not know you use sptdinst... but its included with dt/alcohol
