@ all: Read the 24 Post on this thread and the game will start even with patch 1.3.

Gamevampy had succes with this method too!

@shadow_ro:

Why do I make you laugh?

Also, if you have a guide that has proved to work on not only your own PC but quite a few others, as well (!!!), then, please, submit it to GCW, instead of making each and every people ask for it. Thank you,

Joe

Thanks first for the file Shadow. But I must say, it´s the same mini-image like this from dede1. It works fine but not with version 1.3. Therefor you have to disable your drives with Starforce Nightmare and not with StarfucI<! And forget to send to GCW, the key will be removed as soon.

Angry Starforce nightmare, missing drive??

Hello,

I've been mucking around with this starforce nightmare thingy in an abortive attempt to get this game running, and now my dvd drive has vanished from windows explorer. I can see it in control panel with a little yellow exclamation mark. Drivers loaded but hardware not found it says in the 'general' tab of 'properties'. Has anyone else had this? Had do i get my drive back, i've clicked every activate button in starforce nightmare at least a dozen times and rebooted but to no avail??

TIA,

Cool SFN and missing drives

Its ok i found a solution. Anyone else who finds Starforce Nightmare makes off with their cd drives for longer than anticipated (code 41) should read this.

http://www.cdrom-guide.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=272544


Got my drive back but still cant get the stupid game to run, (even after re-hiding the cd drive). I guess things dont look good for Silent Hunter 3 in the short term either.

Tip, do not use 'disable cd' in SFN, instead selectively disable drives with the other buttons to prevent the problem I (and others) encountered. It may not help the game run but it'll prevent the need for registry surgery.

Regards,

If you type the key from your Original in that field for a somewhere downloaded Mini-Image it doesn´t work. We have described the Problem more than enough in this thread. Your own key will only work with a good Mini-Image from your own Originaldisc.

I have tried the method described on post #24 exactly several times and I always get an error after the disc checking that says Try in another drive. I got the game to launch one time but have been unsuccessful for a few days since then. Any idea what I can do to reset the whole process and try again?

I will close this thread!
To much cd-key discusions here.

@all:
If the discribed method don't work for you, play the game with your original cd!
You all are trying to get this method to work for a so long time. Have you ever thinked how long you have could already played the game, instead of messing around with the registry and the CD/DVD drives.
