Damnit, I always thought it was S E A L.

The only reason I am hanging around here is the prospect of bumping into Heidi Klum.

Oh, well ... now I`m already here.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: And you probably will....!

StarForce is not in Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel. It can only be removed with the StarForce Removal Tool/Cleaner. Once you use the dvd again to play SHIII, StarForce is reinstalled.

Do Not buy a download of SHIII. You can find it on Amazon.com very reasonably priced. Or, look for Buy/Sell sections in different forums, where it's also very reasonable to buy. SimHQ.com is another site to find it.

I got my for $14 bucks from a friend.

jimbuna; thanx for that link. Saved the d/l. Gameshadow has also been uninstalled.

If starforce is included in either the legal d/l or DvD it hardly matters where the software/game was purchased.
I can see if it was a matter of 15-20$ or more but in this case 5$ either way is petty. When you consider the cost of shipping or gas the convenience of the d/l isn't bad. Only thing is subsim.com doesn't get reference credit. Well sending in a donation isn't such a chore either.

Your welcome mate :up:
