Vista - Securom compatibility

After completing the install for a game (Star Wars: Knights of the Old
Republic) and attempting to launch the app, I receive an error: conflict with
disk emulator software (see securom.com/emulator). I've tried running the app
in compatibility mode (for both the EXE and the 'launcher app') as well (XP
and 98/ME) but to no avail. The only thing I can think it to be is that the
securom code isn't included in the RC1 drivers for the CD/DVD DLLs. I'm not
running a pirated version, nor am I using (or have installed) drive emulator
software. Thoughts? Ideas?

I would go to the SecurRom page and see if they have an update. Star-Force
already has an update for thier crapplication...

I had the same problem until I uninstalled Daemon Tools and re-installed the
game. Of course, now the game just crashes whenever I try to start it, so I
guess that isn't really progress.
