You been living under a rock?

Starforce is one of the most hideous inventions since the chastity belt. It wraps all that scrummy gaming goodness in a tight protective shell and defies you to get inside!

It's basically the protection some companies are using to abolish no-cd cracks for and the piracy of their games, and for most games... in most cases... it's working...

It's basically a very intrusive protection that is installed as a driver whenever you play/install a StarForce game.

Read the FAQ and SEARCH on the forum; there are many threads about the POP series. (You didn't even state which game you want cracked...)

Disable the display of images, animations and popups, and your Internet connection will start flying like a fighter airplane.

There is no ' Nocd/dvd crack' for these games so your going to have to make your own or download a mini-image (or maybe a maxi-image!).

Then you have to mount the mini/maxi image in Daemon Tools, maybe have to unplug your IDE CD/DVD devices, and then run the game and hope it works!

Why not just stuff your original CD/DVD in the drive instead, it's a lot less bovver than a hovver!!
