Complete newbie needs help

I bought Medal of Honor: Airborne and upon launching the game, I get the message: Conflict with emulation software detected.

This is a new computer that I bought, I really don't know what CD/DVD software have been loaded. I only see Nero and NTI DVD Maker 7. I know the guy who built it for me loaded freeware junk anyway...

I googled the error message and found this forum, and with some checking I found out about Apolo 120%, YASU, SecuROM, etc... all are very foreign and scary to me. I am not a hack, not even very good navigating the computer.

I just want to play a game that I bought with my hard earned money, on my computer. It looks like I can't even do that without changing or modding my PC, which I don't know how to do, even how to start... Of course the retailer won't take the game back if I return this peice of s*** game. Please help with some easily followed and understandable steps.

Do you have any emulators installed? If so try and uninstall them 0ne by one and see if that helps.

Re: Complete newbie needs help

I dont think he knows what an emulator is...

we need to know what is installed on your PC

3 ways to find out:

1. go to control panel - add remove programs and make a list of all the programs that you see listed there. .

2. make a list of all the program names that you see when you click start & then all programs

3. open C:/progam files and make a list of all the folder names.

Post the list & maybe we can tell you what you need to remove

Re: Complete newbie needs help

hmm that would only kick in if something was mounted on it too no?
and last time i checked nero couldnt do a damn thing emulation wise

if you cant figure it out, do a launch analysis (right click exe, select 'launch analysis) then send the sr0 file to support@securom.com

seen that on a few forums where people had problems

Did just that, they replied by sending me a new .exe file to replace the old one.

Didn't work.
