Starforce tech support solution
 

OK, Al Lowe, here is the solution exactly as Starforce support emailed it to me :ping: - it worked straight off for me with no problems:

----------------------------------------------------

First of all you should learn the path to the game: right-click on the icon of the game, select Properties -> Shortcut -> Target. It should be like this, for example: "C:\Program Files\Company name\Product title\game.exe". Here "game.exe" is the name of executable file & "C:\Program files\Company name\Product title" is the folder with the game.
Second, you should unpack UpdateModule.exe from UpdateModule.ZIP to the folder with the game (Download UpdateModule.ZIP from here: http://help.starforce.ru/tmp/UpdateModule.zip).
Then press Start -> Run... and type manually "cmd" (here and below you should type the commands without quotation marks).
Type in, command by command:
"cd <folder with the game>" (in my example it will be "cd C:\Program Files\Company name\Product title")
"updatemodule <name of the game's executable> <any name of executable, other from the original>" (my example: "updatemodule game.exe game2.exe")
"copy <name of executable, other from the original> <name of the game's executable> /y" (my example: "copy game2.exe game.exe /y")
"del <name of executable, other from the original>" (my example: "del game2.exe")
"exit"
Try running the game now.

---------------------------------------------------

I hope that solves it for you, I'm sorry I didn't have time to synthesize their turgid prose into something more digestible, however if you have problems with the procedure I will step you through what I did in plainer english.
Best of luck!

I have not had any problems after running the Star Farce stuff but.
As I was looking at some files like the DLLs and EXE (with notepad)
I remember seeing a scarey statement! :o
"DestroyDevice List"
Nice. :nope:

I have had that problem before when I used Panda online active scan..

I just wanted to say "THANKS" to everyone. It's working fine now.

Oh, and GWX is FAN "bleeping" TASTIC!!

I don't know how many people still remember batch files, but this looks like
one we should create!

I used to work heavily with batch files back between 1992 and 1999, when I worked for Underwriters Labs. Back then, it was in DOS. Man, do I miss DOS. :)
