I do not get the 'emulator detected error' like some of you. As soon as the game tries to verify that my game DVD is a legal copy, the game crashes and I have to reboot. I agree with Jinix. The type of copy protection that the DVD has is confusing the upgrade with an illegal copy.
However, I did go back an uninstall the game one more time. Then I ran a few utility programs to make sure that all traces of the game from previous installs have been removed. I re-installed the game, and then copied the entire game directory to another part of my hard drive for just in case the applied patch failed again. Then I applied the patch to the new install. I ran the game. It stalled for a little bit as the patched game checked for a legal copy of the game (at least that is what it seemed to be doing). Then, to my surprise, the title screen came up and I could play the 1.6.5 patched version of the game. If it wasn't for the damn 'freezing problem' when I play the game, I would be good to go.
