maybe u're right... but there is nothing remaining in neither the registry nor anywhere else on the computer... at least nothing visible! I'm gonna ask a friend if he can help me, and maybe I'll write another email to EA... I mean, they must be interested in someone who invested nearly half of his pocket money in their games, no? XD
anyway, thx for ya help!

oh, red alert works. but battle for middle-earth, sim city and sims don't. I can't really get download versions of all of these games, just becuase all of a sudden the can't be installed!!! I have been playing them for years and have often installed, uninstalled and reinstalled them and suddenly I got these probs! i just want a solution, but I'm afraid EA is just uncapable! ufff.....

NO! After having read your comment I tried it with several games! Every game worked, but SimCity 4! what's going on there? Sim City does work, but without AutoRun, I have to start it via Start! Any ideas why???

It just sits in my cd-rom drive and does nothing.
acutally, i'm not sure if i have ever had the same problem as you all... My problem was, that couldn't instal any further EP and I always had to start TheSims via Start\Programs\EA Games... Is that the common SecuROM problem? What could it be if it is not? I first realized the problem when I tried to install Teen Stuff, cause nothing happened when I put the CD into my drive and when I tried to start AutoRun manually (that seems ironic to me - I try to start a program called "AutoRun" manually!!!)

I uninstalled them via (damn, that is hard for me in english!) Start/ program access and standards (I don't know if these are the correct enlgish words!). and after that I deleted every remaining folder and registry key from theSims cause it didn't work after I had deleted securom and sims. so I tied to get rid of the rest -> I thought it would work after everything had been deleted.

Why doesn't it reinstall itself when you put the CDs in? Did you actually go through all the uninstallation process or did you start deleting things?
do u mean securom or the sims? well, if u mean the sims, that's why I'm wondering , too! |

ok, so I'm gonna have to explain it once again: First I uninstalled all my sims 2 ep, sims2 basic inlcuded, because I had no clue about SecuRom and thought that would help me to run the game - course it didn't. then I made some system restores (damn, I don't know whether that was good) and finally I came accross this forum and followed the instructions. actually, I managed to delete securom completely from my pc. however, no sims package was installed when I deleted securom and now, it is impossible to reinstall any. help me please!!! Why restore the system after you uninstall? Do you have any EA Games or Sims folders left on your system? Is the stuff all gone? Might system restore have reloaded some stuff that you just uninstalled? You may want to try 1) getting a torrent version of the base game and seeing if that installs. Get one without securom and a no-cd crack for best/easiest results. 2) reformat your drive and start over if there really is something seriously messed up. Can you install anything at all from your drive (other programs?). yes, i can, without any problems. I have deleted every remaining folder. what do u mean by "get one without securom..."? is securom also on the basic sims2-cd? hmmm..... reformat my drive just for theSims??? well, maybe I'll find another solution |

hi all!!!!!!!
I have a huuuuuuuuge problem! I had securom as well on mypc and I follwed the steps mentioned and eventually deletet that shit! But actually, I'm still not able to run ANY Sims-game! dumb as i am I deleted them all cause I thought that then it'd be possible to run it - that was before I found out everything about securom on your page! Little did I know that I was not going to be able to reinstall ANY Sims-Game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know why, but I can't run any of em, It doesn't start, nor does it react when i click Autorun.exe or Setup.exe!
So my problem is:
1) I aint got SecuROM
2) I can't reinstall Sims-Basic version, nor any expansion, of course!
HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
