ArmA2 and Securom

[Snake_61]

Hi,
installed ArmA2 for the 2nd time but still game won't start!

Securom found an emulated drive on my PC and asks me to shut down software as "Alcohol120" or "DaemonTools".

No such Software is present on my Drives!
Nor does this Computer has a CD/DVD-Writer!!

Means there is none of this mentioned Stuff on my PC!

I did a registry check and even there was nothing found like "Alcohol" or "Daemon" !

Does anyone have a clue what my problem is?

I did use the search function,but no success.
I did the google-search and still no success.
I did change my DMA-Mode to PIO-Mode and backwards,no success.
I did sent my Analyzefile to Securom-Support,still no answer means no success either!

I would realy like to peek into this game,is there anybody able to help?

Thank You in advance, guys....

Do you have other software emulating drives? Alcohol and Deamon Tools are most common, but there are many others. CloneCD/CloneDVD.
Also, can you tell what exactly you've got in your PC? Are there external usb drives, what kind of optical drives you have (DVD-RW, Blue-ray, CD-RW, Combo, DVD-ROM etc.)
Any system informations would be helpful.

ARMA2 has securom tut tut

How disappointing, I have heard of this happening with other games rarely, I really don't know how to solve it

Thanks for trying to help,guys but there is nothing else than a normal "Samsung DVD-Rom" Drive.
No USB-Drive,no emulation-Drives or any copyrelated software...no DVD-Writer present,so therefor I do not need such software.

@Placebo
please do not doublepost (ever wanted to say that)


@Snake 61
Could you show us your dxdiag.txt file so we can get a better idea whats your system looks like and what might cause trouble as a first try?

[Snake_61]

Sure Myke,would love to but the message containing the dxdiag.txt is too long for posting!
Maximum are 50.000 but my message has over 52.000! :-(

trying to cut it down like eliminating the Sound-lines!?

Ok, first, your graphics drivers aren't up to date, dxdiag says you have 185.20 but latest is 185.85. Get the latest nVidia drivers here..

And second, do i see this correct that you have 3 Harddrives installed and one contains 5 different partitions? C, D, E, G and I seems to be all on the SAMSUNG SP2504C. Are these real partitions or is one of them an emulated drive?
