Hey guys, I just got back from EB Games, and installed the game, installation seemed to go fine, but then when it went to start the game, the message below popped up:

]You are trying to start a copy-protected application which requires the original disc to be in the CD/DVD-ROM drive. Please check to make sure your disc is an original.

If this message occurs, although you are using the original disc, please check if the correct communication mode is being used with your drive. Please check if the DMA mode is enabled by using the Device Manager

1. Open the Device Manager.
2. Double-click IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers to display the list of controllers and channels.
3. Right-click the icon for the channel to which your CD/DVD drive is connected, select Properties, and then click the Advanced Settings tab.
4. In the Current Transfer Mode drop-down box, select "DMA if Available" if the current setting is "PIO Only." If the drop-down box already shows "DMA if Available" but the current transfer mode is PIO, then you must toggle the settings. That is:
* Change the selection from "DMA if available" to PIO only, and click OK.
* Then repeat the steps above to change the selection to DMA if available.

In case the hint given above didn't solve your problem, please send a SecuROM™ analysis file to support@securom.com (see Support Info section on how to prepare and send an analysis file).

I mean, its an original CD from a just opened box and they say it's not real? Any suggestions? I couldn't get their fix to work, either.

Thanks,

Dan
 
SecureROM has some troubles with some DVD devices. I have that problem too (it doesn't like an external I have attached) so I get a no-CD patch from other places. :)
 
Make, model, and interface connection please. Also if it's master or slave for PATA (IDE)
