Stupid Starforce and Vista??
I just recently upgraded my PC and installed Vista along with it.

For some reason now after i install GTR and it reboots when i try to launch the game i get a driver compatability issue?
Says something about a patch but cant see much on the Starforce website.

Quote :Some games (even freeware ones like TrackMania Nations) install a copy protection software known as StarForce. StarForce is renound to be called malware and to make it worse, it crashes Vista, something that I experienced recently. After rebooting after installing the StarForce driver, Vista will not boot normally and it will give you a driver error. Luckily, it was a quick fix but here is how to destroy StarForce from your system:
Boot Vista in Safe Mode or Last Known Good Configuration if possible
Uninstall any games that are using StarForce completely
Download the StarForce uninstaller from here
Unzip the archive and run the executable inside
It will take a few moments and it will tell you to restart to complete uninstallation
Restart and StarForce should be gone from your system


However, if you are a user that MUST play a game that requires StarForce, do this:
Install whatever game that requires StarForce
DO NOT reboot if prompted
Download the StarForce Update Utility here (http://www.star-force.com/support/sfdrvup.zip)
Run the executable to update your StarForce drivers
Restart computer and hope everything goes well!
I hope this helps people with StarForce on Vista

Found it on google. ~2mins.
solved
