Star Wars: Empire At War running with image

[Jack0r]

good morning from german - with 7 gold medalls on our hands

so for me this solution works fine :
- login as user WITH Admin rights
- start Deamon 4.03 and mount the mini image
- run Prot.Stop 1.0 -hide-
NOW :
- change user -> login as user with user rights
- start the game

i must do it this way, cause i ever get an error msg from securom protected games like : "A required security module can not be activated. This program can not be executed." - thats it, why i normaly start securom games as "normal user"
dunno why - but it works fine

hope i could help und thx 4 the mini image

in my case, the mini image works with mounting in DT and open sweaw.exe with AntiSecurom. Emulation in DT RMPS. Works. Is Easy. Is Fast.

After trying all other methods, this one is the one that worked. But I installed the whole game, then use the mini-image to mount in DAEMON. And I also updated to 1.2. But it works finally. Thanks alot

I don't see what the trouble is with this. Apparently not everyone out there has the ability to make a 1:1 backup copy anymore? I have a sony dvd/cdrw combo drive - the original cd's work fine, and the 'backup cd's work fine for me. I don't run alcohol 120 or daemon tools. Frankly, if you have a CD, and you have a backup of that cd, I'd much rather have the space on my hard drive than fragment and trash a system with image files. But then I only have 260GB over 3 hard drives to play with.

Securom doesn't work with all DVD/CD drives - Toshiba's models have trouble with it, and it sucks that some paying customers have those drives that are incompatible. Solution? Either get Securom to modify their protection for better compatibility, or get Toshiba to update their incompatible firmware. Or, third option, get a drive that works.

After times of failure. I finally made it.

1) Install CureROM 1.31
1) Mount the image with daemon tools 4.03. All emulations ON!!
2) Run CureROM LITE!!! and click ENABLE!!
4) Run the game.

Works well for me

I have been watching this thread with interest as i am also having problems getting Star Wars Empire At War working, however, i seem to have a different problem to everyone else (isn't that always the way).

I have installed the game, but whenever i run sweaw.exe i get:

'A required security module can not be activated. This program can not be executed.'

This is even when i don't have daemon tools running (or any other image software)!

Could it be picking anything else up as a potential problem, or because i had d-tools running the first time i tried it, it has decided i have tried to use an image and not won't unlock the .exe?

Hello everybody,
I've tried almost every thing to make the game work including disabling by REAL DVD-ROM (just from the device manager) used cureROM but strangly the game WORKED ONLY THE FIRST TIME i used cureROM then it kinda knew what i was doing & a different message came out, something like:
"Original disk couldn't be found or authenticated" not the "emulation detected" error
I'm still trying to make it work, didnt give up yet

thnx
Waheiba

[playaforreal]

Cya and good night

I have the exact same problem, but even when removing Alcohol and DT4 and playing from the original disk, I still get the error! Very disappointing!

I have seen "AntiSecurom" mentioned several times, but I am not sure what it is. Doesn't seem to be available at GameCopyWorld, and a web search didn't help either.
Can someone guide me in the right direction please?
