i installed gtr some time ago...it has sf3.
after a week my pc booted 3 min (before: 1 1/2 min)...
so i decided to uninstall the game and the sf drivers.....
but after uninstalling the sf drivers it was even worse : my comp needed almost 5 min (!!!) to boot WinXP and my hdd worked with constantly 3.6 mb/s read speed !!!
i hate SF !!!

Why you think it's SF3, which make the trouble?
Perhaps this GTR game is the cause ???

I never had a problem with SF3 protected games and the SF3-driver !!!

after uninstalling the SF drivers that came with SC3 i had similar problems...

@muJi.fiGHt3r: Once the IDE hot swap software I'm using crashed the machine. From then on, the hard disk rack, being swapped, went down from 40 Mbyte/sec to 5 Mbyte/sec. I reinstalled the nVidia nForce 2 drivers for my motherboard, including the IDE bus master driver, and the transfer speed went up again. Apparently, the installation reinitialized something in the registry... You should try it, too!

While people may not believe this, Starforce completly trashed my PC. While I have no proof of this, the SF3 protected game (X2: The Threat) was the first thing that I installed on a clean, fully updated PC. I then attempt to load the game, reboot and am presented with the dreaded BSOD. Cleaning in Safe mode didn't really help, and so I formatted- No more probs.
Draw your own conclusions.
