Cannot get NSR to run to save my life
 

Finally found NRS at Walmart and bought it, came home and installed it.
Now I'm getting this error message after I click to launch:
"CD/DVD emulation software has been detected. Please disable all CD/DVD
emulation software and restart game"

Yes I read the readme file!! so I have totally disabled my PC-cillian
Internet Security Suiet, to the point of shutting it off. done a
MSCONFIG and disabled all programs running (only had 1 enabled (PC
Cillian)

Shut off every task in task manager that the computer would let me, to
the point of shutting down the system..............

I have a DVD R/W and A CD R/W installed but with only the windows
drivers and no softeware. I totally uninstalled NERO.

Absoultly nothing that shows up is running in the background that I can
find.

The demo worked fine as far as running........... Yes I totally un
installed that and cleaned the folder it came from. Yes again, I have
uninstalled and reinstalled NRS, twice.............

I guess I will try installing it on my wifes computer (that ought to
thrill her to death!!)

ANy ideas

Thanks

Nero shouldn't affect it but if you had Alcohol120% it will. Damn EA
is playing Big Brother with us and won't allow their newer games to
install if they detect virtual drives and cd cloning software. But cd
writing software like Nero should be fine. Maybe at some time you had
CloneCD or Alcohol120 installed and there are registry entries left
behind so the game thinks they are still installed.

So does Daemon tools fit here? I guess we'll see huh?

You bet it does. These people HATE Daemon Tools with a passion.

You can trick some games into not being able to detect Daemon Tools by
disabling system permissions on :

Well I do have CD Clone installed. If thats the problem, EA can kiss my
ass. I'll find a way to return this thing. They should have brought that
out in the demo. Guess I'll try unistalling CD Clone and see what
happens.................

Tools installed.
