Hi,

You can download the Starforce Removal Tool from my Mediafire Site

http://www.mediafire.com/?mddezmnmzyz

When it works with Windows 7,then you don't need a Starforce Patch.

Good Luck


Greetings

Maik

of course, because that kit remove the Starforce drivers from your computer.. not from your DVD!

try here: http://www.star-force.com/support/drivers/

and download SFUPDATE.

It works for Vista.. I hope it will for Window 7 too!

SH3 works fine in Win7. Problem is Starforce blocks you from enjoying the game. So how do you remove starforce from blocking you?

Here is the only fix.

Default I think

I think it might not actually be starforce! I think it is ATI graphics in my case! after several re-installs I've finally got SH3 to show me an error message : can not initialize 3D engine
Had the game running on windows 7 beta, before the full version was released! same machine, graphics card etc. so i'm stumped!
