    Hi Guys,

    I tried to make a copy of Stronghold Legends for my girlfriend so that we could have some online play together. Unfortunately the disc I made for her from my original would not work because of "SecuROM" Grrrrrr anyone know anything about this? Or indeed how to crack it?
    Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    SecuROM is a CD/DVD copy protection product, most often used for computer games running under Microsoft Windows, developed by Sony DADC. SecuROM aims to resist home media duplication devices, professional duplicators, and reverse engineering attempts. The newest versions (v4 and up) prevent 1:1 CD-R copies from being made. Certain programs can circumvent its protection. The use of SecuROM is very controversial. It installs a shell extension that prevents Windows Explorer from deleting 16-bit executables. SecuROM, like almost all copy protection systems, is often "cracked" within days of release. It can cause computer problems and people sometimes use cracked (cleaned up) executables on their original and legally purchased software that use SecuROM to avoid its effects.
