Emulsion software problems

foxesXrXsweet · 18-06-2009, 01:24 PM

I'm sorry if this has been resolved before, but I used to play Sims Pet Stories all the time, then my laptop crashed. I had to have the whole thing wiped and then re-install everything. After that when i tried to install Sims Pet Stories it would install it but when i put the disk in to play it it just says: Conflict with emulation software detected.
And it won't load up.
From looking around I have gathered that its soomething to do with securom, I dont really know what that is though and the programs that are listed that may cause these problems aren't on my laptop. So I don't know what to do to solve this problem. Any sugestions would be greatly appreciated. I just want to play my game!

SecuROM is a CD/DVD copy protection product, most often used for computer games running under Microsoft Windows, developed by Sony DADC. SecuROM aims to resist home media duplication devices, professional duplicators, and attempts at reverse engineering the game. The use of SecuROM has generated controversy due to the fact that it is not uninstalled upon removal of the game. In 2008, consumers filed a class-action lawsuit against Electronic Arts for its use of SecuROM in the video game Spore
SecuROM 7.x was the first version to come with SecuROM Removal Tool, which claims to help users remove it after the software with which it was installed has been removed[2], although it has been known to leave SecuROM files behind.[3]

[edit] Known problems

Under Windows Vista, SecuROM will prevent the game from running if Explicit Congestion Notification is enabled in Vista's networking configuration.[4]
Disk Drive emulator and some debugging software will also cause the launch of the game to fail and a security module error to be generated.[5] In fact a reboot of the entire system was required if Process Explorer prior to version 11 was used before an attempt to run the protected software. That problem was caused by a driver that was kept in memory after Process Explorer was closed.[6]

EDIT I found this on the internet hope it helps.
