    Yes, buy the game!

    Sorry - but discussion on how to circumnavigate protection on games is against forum rules.

    If anyone wants to help, please PM only.

    Toca 3 screwed my Vista SP1 install, starforce installed but upon restart I got an error saying that a starforce driver was not WHQL signed, windows would then not load and told me to repair the problem in the repair console. The repair console told me it could not repair the problem, and I could not get the old DOS commands to delete the offending file to work. Checked after formatting and putting XP back on and there is a starforce patch for TOCA3 on vista, was abit late at the stage though >_<

    Starforce sucks. Get used to it because it'll be in the full game too. Take it as part of the Demo and thank god that Ubisoft doesn't use it anymore.

    Use the patches as suggested and then try contacting the company directly. Any information discussed here on how to circumvent the copy protection will be dealt with accordingly. Yes, it's a demo, but it still has a license agreement and attempting to bypass copy protection software is shaky ground even in this instance.

    That's a firm but fair warning from you Joe.
