Title: Norton and CD problems Post by: Kitten on 2008 October 15, 12:58:02 I've have no problems running a secuROM infested version of sims until today, when I changed my virus software to norton. Now, my computer accepts the apartment life CD is in the drive, but sims 2 refuses to run as the CD isn't in the drive (it says). Could norton be the cause of this somehow, as I could previously run sims 2 apartment life without problems, and has anyone any advice. If this is related to secuROM, please don't spork me too much as I do try my best. It just so happens my best isn't always good enough.

Title: Re: Norton and CD problems Post by: SJActress on 2008 October 15, 15:57:09 Did you turn Norton off before trying to run the game? You should.
However, it's probably SuckuRom anyway. Title: Re: Norton and CD problems Post by: jolrei on 2008 October 15, 16:04:38 Search on MATY for alternatives to Norton - there are other anti-virus programs out there that are not the memory pigs that Norton is, many of which are free.
Get rid of both Norton and SecuROM. Title: Re: Norton and CD problems Post by: Jelenedra on 2008 October 15, 16:10:14 For reals. Norton is a resource hog. The Sims is a resource hog. They don't play nice together. :-X
Title: Re: Norton and CD problems Post by: BrokenRobot on 2008 October 18, 20:03:27 So you knew about teh evilz of SecuROM and decided to let it infest your system anyway? Well, surprise! It does exactly what everyone has been saying it does.
Get rid of both SecuROM and Norton and never let either of them near your computer again. I use the free version of AVG, and have had no problems running it alongside The Sims 2. |
