It's a shame, all those people telling, "Its great", "It works ! Wohooo !", and I cant play without the original CD. The last few month made me come to a decision. Pretty hard for me (ToCA 3 ... ), but I'll definetaly not buy any game protected by SF3. None of them

About the same way I think. Starforce totally screwed my windows installation on my nForce2 based PC and since then I pretty much stay away from Starforce.

using nf4 here, tried many diff ide controller drivers, no help
used to be able to just disable cd drive in windows and trackmania sunrise/king kong, would run alright, but then i updated trackmania and now it doesent work, just like RD3, just luck i think, easiest thing to do is make your cd drive easily removeable, works for me

Hi
I used a simulation program in C++, I changed the IDE controller configuration (among with others like my SATA numbering and DMA id that have nothing to do (i think) with this). StarForce kept asking for a CD but RaceDriver 3 loaded at once. I think that StarForce logs up the initial configuration and it doesnt matter much about the chipset or disconnecting any drives, I would sugest to install StarForce after a hardware "Lifting" then re-enabling and normalizing your configuration.
It took 33 days for my simulator to load so you can understand that it is impractical to wait for a month to play a game.

it didn't work for me i installed LA Rush and it just asked for the disk 1 i have tryed at starforce tools and nothing

does dt 4.03 have that IDE blocker thing?

[neptun]

No it doesn't have such a tool.It will be added later when it is done.

again i am happy to own a notebook..... toca3 (and pop t2t before) works for me just by mounting into dt4.00 virtual drive, do not need to disable or change anything. fine.
