Call of Duty Error

Ok, I bought game today, excited, got home installed and got insert correct cd-rom. So i went to activision/support page and found that is common problem.

They say the way to correct that is to uninstall Alcohol 120 and or Nero, because it runs a virtual tray that messes with the new securom copy protection. My question is this, is there any way i can make it so it doesnt see alcohol or nero? So i can play. I buy games that are good, i use nero to back up mp3's dont care if i have to uninstall that, but the alcohol i dont want to uninstall because i cant find my key and bought it over 8 months ago, not to mention i back up my cds on there and then have them on my HD in case i need them ever again.

This pisses me off, because i always buy games i like and now the anti copying **** they put on, wont work because i have alcohol or nero, which is my friggin right to have on computer. I dont get it, i want to return this game so damn bad, but love the demo's i have played and reviews of it, but come on, now i pay for a copy that wont work because i have another legal program on my computer, thats smart thinking on there part, cause it just makes people not want to shell out 52.99 with tax for a game that isnt even guaranteed to play when they get home, because they have a cd copy program on their machine.

If anyone could help me by telling me what i can do without uninstalling Alcohol i would appreciate, i dont mind taking off nero, cause i can just put back on later, but alcohol i cant do, unless i find key in my mess of papers that i print out daily. Any help or pointing to where i can would be appreciated. I will write activision a nice letter, thanking them for saving me 52.99 of buying game if i cant play it and i have to return it. Because in their infinite wisdom, they thought by messing with the people that actually by the game with some sort of cheat protection would make for a happy customer, while the person with some simple crack plays happily. Frustrating
