    Hello !

    "This error is caused by SecuROM and SecuROM only. And most people using illegal copies are competent enough to bypass it. If they aren't, they shouldn't be pirating software in the first place. SecuROM is detecting some type of "emulation software" on your PC. That could be something as simple as CD/DVD burning software such as Nero. If you don't have any drive emulation software on the PC, then burning software is usually the cause.

    It's unfortunate, because the only people really affected by SecuROM are legitimate owners of the software that uses SecuROM. It does absolutely nothing to stop piracy of the products that use it. The primary reason why EA uses SecuROM is to counter piracy."

    This is a membeer of Gamespot.com who wrote that.

    I suggest you to uninstall any burning software like Nero and drive emulation software like Alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools,


    If these solutions are not working, the last solution is to uninstall SecuROM of your computer, I'm not sure of this solution, and I don't promise it will work, so use it at our own risk, download the archive here and open it with WinRAR or 7-Zip or any unzipper software : https://support.securom.com/removaltool.html

    Good luck !
