A real STARFORCE DOOZIE!

[Egor50]

I bought the 2005 Re-Release of "Lock-on" for my Sim loving son on Christmas. Originally released by Ubisoft. This "New release" is by "EVOLVE" games and is sold as "LOCK-ON GOLD" its supposed to be the same original game + the inclusion of "Flaming Cliffs" on a 2nd CD. Well we ran the install...clicked on the new icon and a "STARFORCE" window popped up stating that there was an error and could not find the CD (Naturally it was in the tray) I did have Dameon 3.44 running in the taskbar but with no Image loaded. So I disabled Daemon tools...then I rebooted just to be certain that memory was clear, clicked on the Icon..."Boom!" Same error! So I told him I'd mess with it later (I Know a few tricks...) then I told him "Look play the original Lock-on until later when I come back and fiddle with the new install...Clicked on the old install icon (Been running fine for over a year) and guess what? The original install was invaded by the Starforce error too!! So the Gold install rewrote EVERYTHING!! Now both versions wont run. And now there is a starforce option to generate a uploadable report! Complete with a E-mail adress that requests you send it in!!! So how is that for being taken over!

It seems that you got unlucky. Send the tech support people an email. They actually take less than 48 hours to answer. At least in my case they did....

Uninstall daemon tools and also clonecd/alcohol 120%/Anti-blaxx if you have them also.

Then try again.
