    I think this picture fits well. Anyway, I've installed The Sims 2 Bon Voyage and Spore, using no-cd cracks. A folder named SecuROM is in my registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software. I guess this means I have it? I'm fairly sure I've only used the no-cd cracks to launch the games though, I guess I must have ran the original exe files once before applying the cracks, for whatever reason.

    The version of SecuROM in that registry key might be from other instances of SecuROM, since it has been around a while as an anti-copying feature on CDs. The new SecuROM versions are supposed to be difficult to locate in the registry.

    I'm still trying to verify if SecuROM only installs with the exe of the game, since I've read part of the app's code is saved in dll files as well. If not, then using cracked exes won't prevent SecuROM from running on your PC.

    Great picture btw, describes the situation perfectly.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?
