Startup crash after installing patch -- Emulator Detected error

[fantaMOO]

Hi All,

I'm from Australia and I bought a genuine copy from CD WOW (shipped from Hong Kong) (and no, this is not a marketing message). Anyway, I couldn't play at all - unpatched or patched with 1.7 (Nobulis) or 1.65 (Atari). It said either:

- "Wrong CD", or
- "Emulator... Conflict", or
- "You can't even start a game, YOU SUCK!"

Ahem... I tried re-installing 5 times, and guess what? Nope, it didn't do a thing. I even kept switching kb.exe from the game cd, and guess what? Well, it didn't budge.

- SOLUTION - (for me at least)
Follow the instructions from Securom to produce an Analysis Log file from your kb.exe, and email it to them. They emailed me thrice, maybe to make sure that I'm genuine. I was desperate, so I obeyed their instructions. Finally, they sent me a kb.exe which works well so far (level 9 paladin, boooya!)
