GTA IV Episodes from Liberty City

[The_wand_mirror]

I fucking BOUGHT the game and now it gives me the damn SecuROM error;

A required securitypart cannot be activated
This program cannot be runned (7000)

See http://www.securom.com/message.asp?m=module&c=7000&l=eng for more details

(TRANSLATED)

(Let this also be the thread for actual discussion about this stand-alone expansion if there isn't one already)

I already de-installed daemon tools, restarted my pc and re-installed the game. I thought someone here could maybe know this, are there any daemon tool configuration thingies i could delete or something?

I also installed and executed those registery files and all but it still won't start.

You've probably didnt bought it lol.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

This shit just proves the fucking stupidty of SecuROM. So people are not even allowed anymore to use Daemon Tools or what? Every serious PC user has a fucking emulator.

^ no insulting , remember?

well...there was similar error in official version of Sacred 2 too...its some fucked up anti-pirate system >.>

well...honestly , my only way how to deal with it , would make me get some -rep

You've probably didnt bought it lol.

-.-

Wand, when you say "buy", did you go down to the store, or Download it? I'm confused as to why you need to mount it if you purchased it.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Went to the store, 30 euros.

I don't mount anything. It says that emulator software has changed the configuration of my PC... and that doesn't make any sense to me i'm using the original disc.

 

[Sorceress]

I was joking guys.. jeez.. try sending them an mail or something.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Oh yeah i did that but i don't really trust those lame support people actually... (Most of the time i didn't get a proper response i mean)

 

[Sorceress]

hm, sounds very weird.
maybe... i remembered a time where my firewall was responding on
me installing the game "Dawn of War 2". I couldn play it for some reason..
And then i had to make my friend help me and he did something about it
by clicking into the firewall settings on the computer and adding some codes or whatever
and then it worked.. maybe, and just MAYBE it could be the same problem.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

i doubt that's it.

Rofl. here is the e-mail

Hello.

Thank you for your e-mail.

I've checked your analysis file and it seems that some emulation tool (eg.
Virtual-CD hide, Anti-Blaxx, or SR7.Stop) has hidden your virtual drives.

Please deactivate this feature and you will be able to start the game.

And how the fuck do i that mister support-a-lot?

 

[Numerion]

my solution is easy and fast...you just need one little file

 

[Sorceress]

hm. i'll try finding out for you, shouldnt be so hard.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

What are you waiting for then? PM it to me!

Nobody but me can see your PM. (Private Message)

 

[Sorceress]

wow relax..
jesus christ..
first you'll have too let your computer show you the files.

i hope it's the right video because i can't watch youtube videoes on this computer.
you must find out the rest yourself.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Euh dude, i don't wanna be rude or anything but you totally seem to miss what this is about.

It are HIDDEN VIRTUAL DRIVES, these drives are made by daemon tools and appareantly i used a program to hide them or something a while ago and now secuROM says he doesn't like me doing that.

And i don't have a clue which program that is/was and if i still have it or how to disable it.

 

[Sorceress]

ow okay.. just trying to help..

 

[The_wand_mirror]

I know.

EDIT - Thanks guys but i just reinstalled my whole Windows 7 and now it's fixed. Let's talk about the actual game now. =p

 

[The_wand_mirror]

I already finished The Lost and Damned storyline today, i must say it's fun to see niko, roman and that guy you're going to play in The Ballad of Gay Tony. They put some thought into that.
