Even avoiding Windows 1. Windows installation up to date. Heres why Microsoft decided to break things and how to get those old games working again. Whats the ProblemYou wont have any troubles with newer games, or these older games if you acquire them via digital downloads. Youll have problems with many PC games released on physical CDs and DVDs between the years 2. Many of these games include Safe. Disc or Secu. ROM DRM. All games using Safe. Disc DRM and games using some forms of Secu. ROM DRM just wont work on modern versions of Windows. This includes every version of Windows 1. Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 8. KB3. 08. 62. 55, released in September 2. Microsoft purposefully broke compatibility with these old DRM, as they explain This DRM stuff is also deeply embedded in your system, and thats where Windows 1. Thats why there are a couple of games from 2. Securom, etc. that simply dont run without a no CD patch or some such. We can just not support that if its a possible danger for our users. There are a couple of patches from developers already, and there is stuff like GOG where youll find versions of those games that work. Rovi, the creators of Safe. Disc, lashed out at Microsoft in response Safedisc DRM hasnt been supported for a few years now, and the driver has consequently not been updated for some time. Microsoft should have migrated the existing software since Windows 8. We dont know if thats still possible with Windows 1. Thanks to Rock Paper Shotgun for translating these statements, which were originally made in German. Ultimately, these DRM schemes are bad for Windows systems and have been a source of security problems in the past. Microsoft is doing something good by blocking them, although in an ideal world Microsoft should have put a stop to these techniques instead of allowing them in the first place. How to Play Safe. Disc and Secu. ROM Games. Thats cold comfort if you have an old, disc based game that no longer functions on current versions of Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8. But you can still make that game work. There are quite a few different options you can use Re enable the secdrv service on Windows Vista, 7, 8, or 8. If youre not using Windows 1. Microsoft provides instructions for reenabling the secdrv. To do this, open a Command Prompt window as Administrator. Open the Start menu, search for Command Prompt, right click the Command Prompt shortcut, and select Run as Administrator. Run the sc start secdrv command to start the service, and run the sc stop secdrv command to stop it afterwards. Microsoft provides instructions for enabling it automatically at boot using both commands and the registry, too. This will make your Windows PC less secure, and it shouldnt work on Windows 1. If you do do this, you should disable the service when youre done with the affected game to keep your PC more secure. Install an update Some game developers have made patches that remove the DRM available. Check the games website and install a recent patch to see if the game functions normally afterwards. Get a no CD crack No CD cracks are potentially dangerous, as theyre often found on shady websites and used to pirate video games. However, if you did find a no CD for the game you want to play, it would remove the DRM and you could play the game normally. You probably shouldnt do this, either. Unless you really know what youre doing and even if you know what youre doing searching shady websites and downloading a no CD crack made by piracy groups sounds like a good way to get infected by malware. Repurchase the game digitally Repurchasing those old games may not sound like a great idea, but if you purchased the game on a modern platform like GOG. Steam, youd be able to play the digital version of the game normally and not worry about the old disc based DRM schemes. You could also uninstall that particular update on older versions of Windows, of course but theres no good reason to do that, as you can just re enable the service. All the patch really seems to do is disable the particular service by default. It isnt running in the background, ready to be attacked on every Windows PC now, itll only be enabled on systems that actually need it for some reason. Image Credit William Hook on Flickr.
