  1. Questions about sc secdrv and older gaming problems.


    So I tried to play older games and I "touched" the sc secrdv and after that I gave up, because of security reasons so I'm asking when is it the safest on my computer: when sc secdrv is turned off, on manual or on automatic or disabled? Also I'm wondering is there a safe way to play older kinds of games?

    :)

    Secdrv causes BSOD?

    If there is no generic solution (like updating the driver, changing a setting or something like that), do you have a suggestion on how to figure out which app/game that makes the calls to secdrv that lead to BSOD? All I can see in the Event logger is that something is trying to call secdrv and that crashed the machine. If I knew what, I could try to deactivate or even uninstall that software.

  4. Questions about sc secdrv and older gaming problems.

    SECDRV.SYS Not Loading in Windows 10; this will break thousands of older games.

    Thanks, this enabled me to install and run the Sims Deluxe and it's various expansion packs without the need for a NoCD. Certain it will work with other games that require SECDRV.sys.

    It's not perfect but this is the only way to restore full functionality with old discs. I wonder how severe the security vulnerability is though once this is enabled?

    I don't doubt this will work but if i have to do all this I really don't want to take a chance it will cause a problem with my computer.
