Securom Issues

[ArcImpulse]

Everytime I insert my DVD for Medieval 2 Total War: Gold Edition, I get hit with a "Securom Error" saying that it's conflicting with "emulation software"

Not only is it absurd, it's outright false, I don't use emulation software just so I can avoid dealing with the idiocy which is Securom. I cannot install or play the game which I payed money for (I can install by going into the DVD and running Setup.exe, but I still can't play)

Can anyone help me out of the jam which I am in? I think it's absurd that I buy this game legit, and I can't even play it, while if I downloaded it, i'd be having no troubles whatsoever.

But yea, if anyone could help me out here, it'd be much appreciated, oh, and I'm using XP.

Do you have any games installed like Battlefield2 or Sims2? They use a different version of Securom and cause errors. Also, dvd burning software like Nero will get you a Securom error message.

Ahh, that'd be it then, i've got Nero installed.

well, thanks for the help man
