StarForce was a security scheme that came with certain games (including SH3). It had the unfortunate side effect of deciding that certain disc drives were pirated and shutting them down. I never had the problem, but for some it was quite serious.
As I said, look on the box the game came in. If it's 2008 or newer, you're safe. If not, use the removal tool or get a newer copy.
As for your GWX problems, it may well be corrupted. Where did you get it from? You might want to download it again, preferably from Jimbuna's sig link.
