Starforce DVD Drive Help

[BlazeNWO]

I recently installed Silent Hunter III from direct2drive (bought it). It installed just fine, but my DVD/CD-RW drive disappeared from "My Computer". It shows up in Device Manager but says it cant find the hardware, even though it is hooked up. I did have Dameon Tools installed but uninstalled it after I installed SH3. SH3 uses Starforce, so I'm guessing thats the reason why. Is there anyway to get my DVD drive back aside from uninstalling SH3? I tried those starf*cker/sfn tools but couldnt get them to renable it. There is a crack out for SH3 but for the 1.0 version (1.1 isnt out yet) and even then Im not sure if that would renable my drive. Any help would be appreciated.
