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 Bill D [email hidden] aka Dockmaster

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? dayumit Chris Klink enlightened us with:

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................. Thanks BillD In article <[email hidden]>, [email hidden] says...

Three programs that will stop NSR from starting (so far) are Zone Alarm Security Suite, CloneCD and Daemon Tools. Any one of these three will not allow it to start on my system. Ed

In article <ZdHRd.6620$[email hidden]>, [email hidden] says... yep it was CD Clone. Uninstalled it and NSR works.............. There is a work around in the tech help on there web site.in html format but I couldnt get it to work. cause my cd clone icone doesnt show at the task bar.. pretty good tech support site though, Dont know if this link will work... http://eatech.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/eatech.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php? p_faqid=15775&p_created=1095270252 &p_sid=cUINguyh&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZw X3Jvd19jbnQ9NCZwX3Byb2RzPTM3NCwyOTkzJnBfY2F0cz03MzgsNjc0JnBfcHY9Mi4yOTkz JnBfY3Y9Mi42NzQmcF9zZWFyY2hfdHlwZT1hbnN3ZXJzLnNlYXJjaF9mbmwmcF9zY2ZfcGxh dGZvcm09MTgyJnBfcGFnZT0xJnBfc2VhcmNoX3RleHQ9Y2QgZW11bGF0aW9wbg**&p_li=&p _topview=
