FS9.1 problem with Macrovision/SecuROM conflict...

Featured Replies

As some of you may or may not know, the FS9.1 patch installs the Macrovision C-Dilla copy-protection system to thwart unauthorized modification or distribution of the software. This is all well and good, except that when FS9 is closed it does not properly terminate it's Macrovision process and leaves the cd-rom drive in the protected state. FS9 hangs waiting for Macrovision Cleanup to complete, and it never does.Normally, the user would not notice this until time came to reboot, when they would be prompted to terminate a non-responding FS9.EXE.I play another game which uses a different copy-protection method, GTA Vice City (don't laugh...) which uses SecuROM 4. If I forget to manually terminate a "confused" FS9.EXE and try to swap CDs and launch Vice City, SecuROM and Macrovision will become active at the same time and deadlock one another. This has the effect of shutting down Windows's disk subsystem and the machine grinds to a halt shortly afterward. If I am fast enough I can get to Process Explorer and kill FS9 and save me a reboot, otherwise the machine hard-locks and must be powered off.Does anyone else have this problem?(Edit: Grammar correction.)
