But computer problems are not always black/white, most problems are a combination of many factors.

Plextor and other manufacturers should check their drives/firmware, something is wrong if a driver or any piece of software can cause the drive to seriously over-rev. As I said, the drive should not allow that! Maybe SF just sends some kind of standard command to the optical drive that it somehow "misinterprets", who knows... I know about 7 systems with very different chipsets and drives were SF doesn´t cause any problems at all, so it´s, as you know, not a general problem.

Gizzmo sir.... Starforce is in real trouble. Look at the response letter they posted in reference to Mr McKenna's article. That to me sounds like someone who is defending but not helping, accusing but not helping. They don't respond to emails when they run out of ideas to help you. Sometimes they don't respond at all.
I have to prove nothing to you sir. The proof is in the posts here.
How do I not know you arent a Starforce employee just like the ones faking their identity on the Ubisoft forums, until they finally addmitted to who they were.
I don't trust Starforce to be on my machine anymore. Thats all that matters is making sure that I stay far away from it.

I have also spoke to and and wrote to Aaron McKenna today in regards to his article: http://www.tgdaily.com/2005/10/01/th..._game_pirates/

And the article from Starforce: http://www.star-force.com/protection...l?c=256&id=658

Aaron has given me permission to post his letter that he wrote to Dennis Zhidkov
at StarForce Technologies

Believe me sir this Starforce fiasco is real. If you want to keep saying its not then you are living in a dream world. And to blame the problems on other things in the computer is totally wrong. Starforce and Ubi knew there were issues read the back of a SHIII box...Its states: "Notice: This game contains technology intended to prevent copying that may CONFLICT with SOME CDRW, DVDRW and Virtual drives."

Im not here to get into a debate over a forum with you...So for those of us with problems Leave us alone! We want this fixed. I am not against copy protection unless it does damage and cost me time and money in my life. THIS HAS!

Again for those of you with problems PM me! We need all your information! ANd will try to get you the help you deserve in fixing your problem!

I will be glad to post Aarons letter too for anyone who wants to read it that was addressed to Dennis Zhidkov
StarForce Technologies in response to the article that SF posted.
