It's no problem Charlie, glad to help.
I'm glad all is well. Just keep an eye on things. Alot of SF issues don't show up right away.
And the fact remains, SF drivers are in the Level 0 area of your computer and it's something you don't want. You can always read upmore about it at our site.

Thanks, I recently had to do a reformat because of my Asus Drive failing about 4 weeks ago now, so it may be early yet, along with the info you gave me and the file to remove the SF drivers maybe I can circumvent any problems? only time will tell.
Thanks again.

You could try the SF driver update:
http://www.star-force.com/support/sfdrvup.zip

Or try the SF removal tools:
http://onlinesecurity-on.com/downloads/sfdrvrem.zip

If it works after removing SF you know that it is a SF-related problem.

I'm unable to burn ISO images now...could this driver update help me? I'm reluctant to "upgrade" my starforce drivers because of my previous issues.

Can you burn other files?

Herr Karl · 02-26-06, 12:19 AM

I'm still able to burn music. :hmm:

Then it sounds more like a software problem or the ISO file is broken. WhatÂ´s the error message?

That's the thing, there was no error message. It was a bootable Ubuntu image. I thought I didn't burn under the proper format and tried to burn the image two more times. It just wouldn't work. Could be I didn't do something right, but this is the area that starforce protects against---the ability to copy. It's basically just an annoyance, but I'd like the capability to reproduce images at my own discretion.

Gizzmoe · 02-26-06, 12:32 AM

Try it with another ISO image and another burn software.

It protects the games, but it doesnÂ´t block CD/DVD writing. If it does then itÂ´s a bug and not a feature. I donÂ´t have any problems.

I'll do that, and will get back to you later...thanks for the consideration
Gizzmoe. I'm off to the Mod forum!

Try removing, SF http://onlinesecurity-on.com/downloads/sfdrvrem.zip (As posted by Gizzmoe further back in the thread)

Carry out the DMA step down fix here. How to cure DMA step down of DVD/CD ROM drives

You may also need to re-install your burning app.

SF can interfere with ISO burning ability and the basic ATAPI driver. As it is set up to interpret ISO burning as being piracy. I know that's Crazy but who really understands Security Technologies Logic about things?

I can burn ISO images, so itÂ´s not a general problem with SF.

Oh, and please check your PM!

Just because one person can burn an ISO does not remove it from being General problem for the majority of users. As there are over 60 types of ISO burning apps as well as Microsoftâ€™s own one.

Combine that with so many drive types and IDE controllers and you will see just how unjustified your statement was. You cannot make a statement of fact or rebuttal based upon such limited data otherwise peeps will come down on you very quickly as I just did. (basically your previous SF argument turned back on you, You can't have it both ways).

However, you most probably are in the more rare 5% of users that have not had problems yet.

You know for a fact that the majority of users have those problems? Interesting... Could you back up your statement with some references, please?

Here we go again.

Can you back up yours? The fact remains that you can't and we can. However, this information will not be released to you. For obvious reasons.
