Alright, here's how I got it to work:

I did everything listed so far in this thread, but nothing worked. I still got the Starforce error.

The reason is that Starforce flat out doesn't work with Vista-64. So, there are no drivers to update, no drivers present, nada.

The only work around I have found so far is to "bypass" Starforce by using a NOCD hack. I'm not condoning piracy, but this has been the only way that I've found to get my copy to actually work in Vista 64. Prior to this, I couldn't even get the game to boot up.

I'll be back after I get GWX 3.0 installed.

ETA:

GWX 3.0 boots up fine.
