Windows 2000/XP needs administrator rights to run a SecuROM protected application. SecuROM uses well documented low-level commands to access a CD/DVD-ROM drive. When Microsoft developed Windows 2000/XP they made security levels more restrictive and also disallowed low-level commands without having administrator rights. Starting a SecuROM protected application leads to a ‘No disc inserted.’ or ‘Wrong disc inserted.’ message when started on a PC running Windows 2000/XP without administrator rights. The access rights will need to be changed accordingly.
