I finally got it to work for me. I had the same problem with starf****r no running it. I tried both mini image files listed at GCW. The 73kb one said to insert disk 1 and the 63kb one said invalid key. I finally gave up on starf****r and used Starforce Nightmare. I have both optical drives on ide channel 2 and disabled it through Nightmare and used the 63kb mini image (the first one listed). Surprise! It works! Thanks for the help.

Hmm, forgive me my bad english.
Itried @ll suggestions i found in this Thread (others too), but cant get it to work (scrapland).
I own the German-Version and is running (with original CD) on an AMD 64, i cant open it to unplug (New one with a Warranty-Lock? (if i can , i wouldnt do that-unplugging thing).
I tried all Tools , both Mini-images, dont works....
In Bios i cant disable it (there stands something about Native...)
But its crazy , from the beginning i had some Problems on my System, my Mouse is going "crazy" only in one Folder (own Data) i cant Mark one File , if i trie to Mark one File its like the Pointer of the Mouse is a Quad 250 x 250 Pixel , not only one Pixel size....
The Pointer-Problem was there, before i used any tools or minis, and only happens if i launch scrapland before i try to mark the File????
I find it so ***** , that the Starfishers can install Drivers (Software) that corrupts my System.
Is it not possible (SF updates with every Game new Drivers), to take a old SF version (that is working with mini-image) , and modify it to a higher Version , so that the actual installed Game thinks it is an old Version and dont installs new Drivers....(only thinking)...

Hi guys!
Sorry for my english, I'm from Italy, I hope you can help me because I have a problem to use this game.
I make what you write and all seems ok, untill the protection of the game ask me for a cd-key....and I don't know what kind of key it need!

I hope to can resolve this problem, thank you for you help, bye!

@ivanisevic

the game ask me for a cd-key....and I don't know what kind of key it need!

It wants the CD Key which came with your original purchased game disc!
Hint: Its usually found on the CD Cover somewhere or On or in the Game Manual somewhere!

I don't think this game needs a CD KEY, Morglum posted about how Starforce calculates an internal key from sectors on the disc, so put the wrong disc in and the key will be incorrect and pop a request for the key, even though it doesn't require one!

Some games DO need a CD key like TOCA 2, but some games ask because the CD is just the wrong one!

Hmmm, well as I dont actually have the game myself, I was just taking a calculated guess! I wasnt even aware it was a Starforce game! So you could say my guess was somewhat 'Miscalculated'
