I think what you meant to say was "Starforce Problem"
I didn't even make an attempt at Starforce under Vista. I just plunked down $20 for the D2D version and...
1) avoided all problems related to trying to get SF to work on Vista
2) I can now run SH3 + GWX without the disk
3) spared my optical drives the punishment (or destruction
)
I'm running it happily under Vista 64 Ultimate with the hi-res DLL in 1680x1050 (screen's a little squashed though).
