RamsesII is on a distinguished road
Hello Folks,

I'm new here so please be gentle

Maybe a little late or already mentioned, but I came across a question on the official starforce-forum, where a guy asked how he could install an SF protected game (X3: reunion) from his usb cd-drive after one of his internal drives broke and he bought an external one..

At first the board mod didn't answer and demanded the reason why someone would want to install from a usb device (duh), while another visitor pointed him to the fact that the guy's internal drive was broken..
After some hesitation the board mod replied with simply: disable the IDE controller in the motherboard BIOS would allow installations from media other than one connected to the IDE controller..
In addition another user had some critisicm how simply SF can be bypassed then to force its way what it wants to do, and commented that this would also allow installations from virtual drives..

the SF board mod hasn't replied since

So my guess is that if you have SATA drives and only a CD/RW connected to one of the IDE controllers, you should be able to run any SF protected game with only a minimod and SFcure, and without the need to disconnect your cables

Cheers, R

I must admit I am confused. I continually get the message that my StarForce protection driver is not compatable with Windows 7 and will be disabled. However, I have looked at all the games and programs that use this driver and I don't have any of them installed on my system. Can anyone tell me what else may use this driver or any other games that are not listed here so that I can find and kill it?

Simply uninstall the driver (http://www.glop.org/starforce/remove.php). Launching a game (or application?!) protected by Starforce will (re)install the drivers anyway.
