If you insist on running the native Windows PC version, you will need a virtual USB driver (like vJoy or libusb-win32 ) alongside a community-made tool like SkyReader to spoof the hardware ID of the Portal of Power.

Here's the problem: most modern PCs, especially gaming laptops and high-end desktops built in the last few years, don't even include a DVD drive. Additionally, SecuROM 7 has well-documented compatibility problems with modern versions of Windows (Windows 10 and 11). Games that relied on it often refuse to launch or crash immediately. This means that even if you own the original starter pack disc, you might be completely unable to play it on a new computer.
