Yet I still get the "a required security module was found up in your ass" message. If that matters I use Windows Media Edition, not XP home or pro. Lucas Arts' technical support is not really a support and now I am unable to play the game I pre-ordered!! This is in a word bull...

Any ideas what I should do (aside from waiting for a NoCD patch of course) would be appreciated...

You should probably reinstall the game. Use DT4.03 and make sure that the only virtual drive you have on your system is the one (must be the only Virt drive) there is the one that DT will use. Follow the instructions of the curerom tool to the letter. Oh, and make sure you are using an uncorrupted downloaded ROM. Also, removing starforce is not a good idea, since the games flat out won't run without it.
