SecuRom - "A required security module cannot be activat

[lampak]

Always when I try to run any program protected by SecuRom I get this message:

Code: Select all

A required security module cannot be activated.
This program cannot be executed (7000).

Please have a look at http://www.securom.com/message.asp?m=module&c=7000 for further, more detailed information.

I've read SecuRom works in Wine, so why doesn't it work for me?

SOME versions of Securom work. What version is this?

How can I check it?

OK, SecuRom's version is 7.24.

That most likely won't work on Wine. You'll have to use "no-cd" patches.

Hard luck
But how can I run Oblivion (from Game of The Year Edition) if it checks the disk even before being installed?

Install it on windows and copy it to Linux. Most games should work that way.

OK, now I'm confused. I thought doing that was frowned on, due to the
problems of missing registry keys and dll's etc being put in weird
places and not getting copied over properly :-S

Correct that's the problem for most regular programs.

Games in most part are exceptions from this rule. They don't have too many registry settings and put all their dlls into game's directory.

However this of course is not guaranteed to work - just something to try.

You learn something every day

Thank you for the explanation

So does the Bible program I am trying to fix. The fixes have been
pushed to 1.2.0 as they are more extensive than originally planned.

This will not work for most of the regular Windows programs, mainly
Office type applications, as they build a bunch of registry keys and do
the dll toss.
