I am having problems with starforce games since i updated to the latest starforce drivers. Now when i try to play any starforce games (chaos theory, trackmania sunrise, worms mayhem, codename panzers etc) it comes up with the screen.

" Application installed successfully. Reboot the computer to complete the installation. continue?"

When i reboot i still get the same message. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling all these games but have to same problem. I have tried removing the starforce drivers with the removal tool on the starforce page and updating them again to the latest version. Still the same problem.

Can anybody help me please?

You got the legit versions? If so, you should harass the game publishers. The more people do it, the better.

The software is not legit ( i do buy games but would never purchase one with starforce protection). I used the trick with sfcure and starforce nightmare to get them working.

I can only assume that when i try to uninstall the starforce drivers there are still stuff left that it doesnt get rid of. I have looked in the registry and still find entries like sfdrv01 and sfhelp01.

sfdrv01 and sfhelp01 are parts of sfcure, not of starforce itself.
(just read the commands if the .bat files of sfcure)

Why? That doesn't make any sense. First you remove them and then you install them again? After removing the new SF drivers just start the game that you want to play and it will automatically reinstall the older drivers that came with the game and maybe your problem will be gone.

my starforce games are quite old so i dont think they are starforce 3.7

I agree that its not installing the drivers properly but the question is how has my system changed since before. Is there now some sort of conflict between the starforce drivers and something else? eg sfcure. Or is there some trace of starforce left on my computer stopping it installing properly?

Does anybody know a list of files starforce installs and all the registry entries it produces?
