Seems my prayers have been answered, by Mr Gates no less!!
Apparently M$ acquired the Sysinternals website in July 2006 and their utilities are now available from M$:

One utility that caught my eye was ProcessMonitor:
Code:
http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/ProcessMonitor.zip
This has an integrated FileMon and Regmon and does not interfere with Securom as I ran it while running a known Securom game that detects FileMon and it happily loaded while having it's activity logged by Proccess Monitor.
So for now I can monitor without 'certain' copy protections complaining!
