misanthrope

I only have one other system running Windows here, but I guess I can try. I swapped in two other optical drives last night: I replaced the Sony DVDR with a brand new identical model I added my Plextor 24/10/40A Still no change. I will try this later and report back.

Now SF is prompting me for a "disc key." After going over both the case and disc, I have found no such thing. The installation instructions also mention abosolutely nothing about a key. Am I missing something? A single disc. I installed Hammer & Sickle without incident. I've had a working LOMAC 1.02 install for months. I put in the FC disc and installed it.

Nope... I ordered it from Naturalpoint. I was really looking forward to it.

It would seem that everything I've heard about Starforce is correct: it only serves to punish people that actually pay for software for their honesty. I have two optical drives: a Plextor 12/10/32A (which renders the disc only semi-readable, mind you) and a Sony DVDR (which actually allowed me to install the game.) After installing and rebooting, Starforce tells me that it cannot read the disc in either drive. I find this incredibly obnoxious, but before I say that I will not buy another ED product again in the future, I'm curious if anybody has any suggestions. Though, I can't imagine what one could do if Starforce demands that the disc be put in another drive and it won't read it in any available. Thanks.
