    Firstly, I do not have any copy circumventing software on my computer. I installed the full, purchased retail version of Battlefront II.

    Now FEAR Combat won't work - even though it's a free game, I get message "Required Security module cannot be activated" - I looked it up and apparently its a common problem and Sony don't give a **** as it only happens with a few games...

    So basically, after paying 30 notes for Battlefront 2, I am left totally unable to play FEAR Combat anymore, uninstalling the game does not make a difference...

    **** you sony! First the cd software crap illegally being installed on pcs, and now this rubbish.

    I have this problem with SW:Empire at War on my desktop. Does not even load up. I did registry clean, installed it on a completely different drive, defrag, tried different product key to see if it was a product key problem, NOTHING!
