Poker Night Securom

[The_Grimace]

When I try to run Poker Night on my PC it will pop up a SecuRom 6000 error. At this point I have tried turning off all obvious background tasks to no avail.

I can work around it by putting it in windows 2000 compatibility mode, but that is pretty lousy. Any ideas?

What is the exact error message and are there any details?

Have you tried turning off all processes which are non-essential?
Please try a clean boot (see below).
If it works then, you can track down the problematic process.

Also more information about your system environment would be useful. The easiest way to provide that is a dxdiag log.


dxdiag
Windows XP: Go to your start menu and click on run. Type in "dxdiag" and hit enter
Windows Vista / 7: Press the windows key on your keyboard or click on the start menu. Type in "dxdiag" and hit enter.

Now click on the button that says "save all information".
It will prompt you to save a file. Save it where you can find it.

Then zip the file and attach it to a reply in this Thread.



Booting clean in Windows XP:
1. Click Start --> Run --> Type MSCONFIG --> Click OK
2. On the General tab, choose Selective Startup
3. Uncheck Process SYSTEM.INI file
4. Uncheck Process WIN.INI file
5. Uncheck Load Startup Items
6. Click on the Services tab
7. At the bottom, check Hide All Microsoft Services
8. Uncheck all boxes in the window or click the button labeled Disable All
6. Click OK
7. Click Restart
8. After reboot, run the game to see if it works.

After performing the necessary steps, restore your system by doing the following:

1. Click Start --> Run --> Type MSCONFIG--> Click OK
2. On the General tab, choose Normal Startup
3. Click OK
4. Click YES, when asked to restart your computer
