Any tips? I used the uninstall utility; then got the stuff in registry under local machine. Did I miss something?

Er, why do you need to remove Daemon Tools to run Doom3?

I'm running it fine with it. Of course, I am using a cracked EXE (I hate CD checks).

I'm guessing that Doom III uses the same Copy-Protection as Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, and FarCry. To get either of those two to work, you need to completely uninstall any CD emulation program (including Daemon Tools, CloneCD and a few others).

Well, that's stupid. Guess I'll have to grab the NoCD crack for FarCry, too (just bought it today when I discovered Doom3 wasn't available near me).

Any clue where I could find the locations of all the registries, dlls and other odd files it leaves behind after the uninstaller is finished?

By the way; where did you get the no-cd exe from?

Did you uninstall and the game still wouldn't run? Or are you just wanting to be cautious?

I got the no-CD when I, er, 'previewed' the game over the weekend.

Installed D3
Uninstalled Daemon Tools
Removed regiestry entries I could find from Local Machine (couldn't find others)
Reinstalled D3

Still won't work; presently using that no-cd crack.

Use the uninstall utility, then reinstall and rename the drivers at the prompt in the installer.

Easy way to get around blacklisting.

What happens if you try to run these programs in an environment with CD emulation programs present? Do they give a specific error, or do they just mysteriously crap out?

I have Daemon Tools. Doom 3 runs fine.
