Securom & patches.

[Monterey]

Hey guys,

I just built a new machine, and this one has Windows 7 64-bit.

I finally got my game to install. It took over 2 hours, using a.exe. Game would time out when trying to read the DVD, upon starting. I did the Securom download, let it search, and download the updated files. The game will now start, although intermittently. It's the luck of the draw. I live in the U.S., and I don't remember ever having to have the DVD in before, on my XP machine. Did it have something to do with the 10.1 patch? Is there a fix for it? I really don't like putting all the wear & tear on my DVD drive, and I would rather leave my DVD in the case, where it's safe. For those of you who know me, and know that I have had this game for several years now, if there is a fix for this, please PM it to me. Thanks.

I used to fly as 99th_Monty.

Please don't ban me for asking. Everyone who knows me, knows I have a legal copy of this game, and I am not a video game pirate. Thanks.
