1.7 Patch requires re-activation - but doesn't work!

[Petrov]

Hello

I purchased KB using the Atari digital download, and I got a serial code with it. It installed fine and activated without a problem. However, tonight I downloaded the 1.7 patch and applied it successfuly, sort of. When I try to load KB now, it takes me to the SecurROM activation app, and it won't let me automatically update (says application error), and manually inputting the serial code that came with my original download doesn't work either.

Do I have to reinstall and never update with patches, or is there some other solution??

I'm beginning to understand why people hate digital DRM...

Thanks,

Petrov.
