| For anyone looking at downloading and playing the new Crash Day demo, this warning is for you. Crash Day demo uses the SecuROM copy protection system. This is highly annoying and may cause problems on your machine. You can either avoid installing the demo, or if you install it and then eventually want to uninstall it and remove SecuROM, including the 'SecuROM User Access' Service it installs in Windows, follow these steps: 1. Uninstall the game as normal. 2. Manually delete the game directory (typically \Program Files\Atari\Crashday-demo\ 3. Go to Start>Run and type "Services.msc" (without quotes) and press Enter. 4. Go to the 'Securom User Access' Service, double click on it, click Stop and then set it to Disabled. 5. Go to \Windows\System32\ directory and delete the UAService7.exe file. 6. Go to Start>Run and type "sc delete useraccess7" (without quotes) and press Enter. Note: This Service may be recreated by one of your other SecuROM games, in which case you will have to keep it running to play them. The following steps are very risky and only for people who are certain none of their currently installed games use or need SecuROM: 7. Go to \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ and delete the SecuROM sub-directory. 8. Go to Start>Run and type "Regedit" (without quotes) and press Enter. Then find the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SecuROM] key and delete it if possible. News Source | ||
