This doesnt seem to make any difference to me at all. Take tonight for instance, windows decided that my keyboard didnt want to work altho it was fine in linux, so i reinstalled XP. Keyboard works fine, i proceded to reinstall FC etc and do the reboot to let SF install.
Reboots, I apply the regkey saved by the save key tool, and guess what, hardware has changed it needs reactivating.
Im already on my 2nd activation key, which has now decided i cant activate it again.
Yeah i am slightly miffed, and i defo wont be buying Black Shark if its going to have starforce protection in it.
