A couple of weeks ago there were a few postings by people who had paid perfectly good money for the IL246 DVD but were stuck with an expensive coaster because SecuRom wouldn't let the game run on Vista 64 bit.
Two of us tried to help a m8 by mentioning the solution which is known to many, and for our trouble we received a week's ban.
Now look at this forum embrace modding! The irony (and hypocrisy) is astounding.......

Don't take it personally.. if it is any consolation, that incident was one of the things that prompted our reasessment of the entire policy. It is a process.. and it is ongoing. We do the best we can.
