RellikRats Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I just bought and installed this game. I saw only one other thread on this topic but no replies. That was a couple months ago. When I tried to play for the first time, an error message came up and told me to "use the original disc, not a backup." I AM using the original disc. The message forwarded me to securom which told me to check my DMA settings. They were correct, so I have no solution. Anyone else have this problem and a quick fix? Thanks.

Guest DarthMaulUK Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 If you have used (and in the past) any virtual drives - ie Daemon tools , this will create problems. You need to turn this off and also when installing the game. It might be an idea to re-install the game, turning off any anti-virus software as well.

RellikRats Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 Hmmm... New machine. I haven't used any virtual drives that *I* know of, but my savvy is pretty low. I'll try to reinstall. One thought: When I was installing, it asked me if it could access the internet, or somesuch. You think the AV software could still be the problem though? Oh, and thanks so much for your response.

Guest DarthMaulUK Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 If its a new machine, you might have Nero or something like that (CD/DVD burning tools) and these will need to be switched off. Also, if your PC is new, make sure that everything else is updated - drivers etc. Although it might be new, these things are always out of date DMUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
