I need to fix this.īTW, no one is taking responsibility for this mess, not the game devs not the starforce folks. Please forgive me if I missed something obvious (specs in sig)ġ) Does anyone have any experience with this?Ģ) Can I ask Windows to find any unsigned drivers on my machine?ģ) Any other ideas? I can't mess around with the startup each time.
The computer is about a week old so I don't have a lot of experience with my MoBo yet. In fact, no drivers are there at all except a couple that I know exactly what they do. (which is what I found out by looking for them as well)ĥ) Yet, the drivers must be someplace because a) I did not uninstall them, and b) my machine was booting fine before this mess and what I am seeing is clearly the presence of an unsigned driver(s).Ħ) I tried performing a System Restore, but before I did I checked what files would have been affected. Both tell me I have no Starforce drivers installed. That sometimes reboots windows properly (it seems that to get to the boot choices is a bit of a chore on my machine).ģ) I followed the instructions posted in various forums to try and delete the Starforce drivers, but they are not where the posts all say they are.Ĥ) I downloaded and installed the Starforce utilities to respectively (a) find and update and (b) Uninstall the starforce drivers. One of the choices is F8 but it takes an enormous amount of time to have the screen appear and a most times it just reboots and shopws the same inane message that it can't boot.Ģ) The other option I found on my own was to press Ctrl M and choose the boot drive manually in the boot loader screen. I did more research and it appears that you have to uninstall these starforce drivers to roll back thing and Starforce provides a coupe of programs to help with that.ġ) When I press F8 instead of the boor choices I get a Asus screen telling me what keys to press to get where I want to go. The net effect is that upon Rebooting Windows Pro 64Bit you get a message to "Reboot choosing a disk with an OS" (I am paraphrasing here, basically it's saying I am booting off a drive without the OS in it.Īfter numerous searches I found that pressing F8 and getting to the boot choice menu you have to choose "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" and the machine will finally boot. The drivers for this program are not signed, but by the time you realize that is a bit too late. The game uses a lousy protection scheme called "Starforce" that allows you to run the game from the CD ROM. I made the supreme Mistake of Installing a game called "GT Legends" or "GTL". I found a relatively old post about this issue but the post in question degenerated into other topics so I am starting my own.
