Outdated graphics drivers can cause compatibility issues with FIFA 13, leading to the SecuROM error. Ensure your graphics drivers are up to date:
| Your Situation | Best Fix | | :--- | :--- | | You just want to play and don't care about 100% original files | Fix #3 (NoDVD Patch) | | You own a physical disc and want to preserve it | Fix #1 (SecuROM Cleaner) + Fix #4 (Driver Signature Off) | | You are terrified of modified EXEs | Fix #7 (Windows 7 Virtual Machine) | | Error appeared after Windows Update | Fix #5 (Registry Purge) |

If you see "Failed to initialize SecuROM" after step 8, you have a persistent registry driver. Run the sc delete commands from Part 3 again while in Safe Mode.
