Default Vista and SH III

I've heard the Vista has listed Starforce as a forbiden exe. Will we be reduced to cracks to run SH III on Vista?

I installed SH3 on Vista x64... which kinda made using the crack a requirement... I'm not sure about the x86 version.

I abandonned the whole thing though... even RC2 caused too many problems for me, I couldn't get all drivers to run, AA wouln't take effect with the nvidia drivers... and games just run slower.

So it was back to XP for me. I hope they sort those issues out for the official release of Vista.

Forget it. Microsoft has banned everysingle one of third party antivirus programes. Meaning all other third party programes will have problems. I'll stay on Xp as long as they keep making stuff for it.

Microsoft a bit too far with Vista, atleast that is my opinion. When all will fail, we'll just go to Linux and pray they make a decent emulator or that all software makers convert to Linux too!

You mean Vista won't run Morton, etc?

What. The. Bloody Hell?!

Banned all Third party software? Bill "The Borg" Gates went too far with that. I mean, if that would be true he would be a nuts moron!

Sorry if you got me missunderstood.

I know MC banned all third party Anti-Virus programmes, so I extrapolated that things won't be nice for other similar programmes (sorry I forgot to mention it earlier). When Bis71 said Starforce won't work on Vista I premused that many other programmes (like AV) won't work!

Sorry
