if you do end up circumventing the protection, i would be interested in learning how, so that i might avoid any possible issues with it should i end up purchasing hardware for a computer where there is a conflict.

i enjoy replaying my games sometimes, and if i end up with another computer where the hardware is in conflict with this driver, i would be rather upset. hence, circumvention knowledge for the express purpose of my personal use ONLY to allow me to play the game on affected hardware is my wish. if you choose to share it.

Thanks.
