Hi guys , this article will tell you how to remove starforce protection driver from your PC
- This tool helps users of Silent Hunter 3 to install and remove mods from the game files. The SH3 game does not have any good way of working with mods, and this project is aimed to help SH3 users to use mods. Project is developed in Java.
- So I have been trying hard to use DxWnd to get Silent Hunter 3 run in a window with the 1920x1080 res. The window that is created is indeed 1920x1080, however, the graphics themselves in the window remain at 1024x800 just as if SH3 thinks it is in the windowed mode. I have tried quite a few different settings, but have now run out of ideas.
What is Starforce
Starforce is a software copy protection tool installed by PC game publishers, which is designed to prevent the casual copying of retail CDROM applications. It installs as a hidden device driver, without the user’s knowledge
The Problem
Starforce has received criticism for installing its own device driver onto computers. The Starforce drivers are often linked to system instability and computer crashes. If these problems occur, the user would be unware as to the cause of the problem, and would be helpless to solve the problem.
for example under Windows XP, if packets are lost during the reading or writing of a disk, XP interprets this as an error and steps the IDE speed down. Eventually it will revert to 16bit compatibility mode rendering a CD/DVD writer virtually unusable. In some circumstances certain drives cannot cope with this mode and it results in physical hardware failure (Most commonly in multiformat CD/DVD writer drives). A sure sign of this step down occurring is that the burn speeds will get slower and slower (no matter what speed you select to burn at). Starforce, on a regular basis, triggers this silent step down. Until it reaches the latter stages most people do not even realise it is happening.
It has been reported by many users that the slowdown caused by StarForce on some recent multiformat DVD writers can cause irreversible hardware failures on those drives (they aren’t recognized anymore), as they aren’t supposed to write at slow speeds.
