SO, GTL? Starforce cause hard reboots?

by Sting3 » Fri, 19 Aug 2005 11:07:27

Yes I have tried this treasure, it doesn't crash to desktop, it does not
whine about any of my apps (I did shut down Daemon toolz), long ago removed
cdspace.  Yet we simply crash hell hard to BIOS screen with a 'device driver
but we're not sure which one or why" from XP Pro's error reporting tool

Last driver for gfx (geforce6600gt) that I installed was the ones that came
with Battle Field 2 demo, is that what the problem might be?  or is the
Star-farce?  seems a pity that they couldn't just tell me it didn't want to
install or run if my app offended so much,  I did install GTR demo, it ran
fine.

Ill try gfx update, hope I can play other games after this, the new drivers
liked to kill NR03 IMHO from 96 fps to 40 at same settings...

Updated drivers, still no joy, crash (hard reset as if you pressed the
button) or unplugged from wall...

NICE!!!!

tried all slider positions, got newest driver, I guess the 6600gt is a POS
gfx card?

Same here. Installed and uninstalled twice, including Starforce,and it
reboots as soon as I try to launch.  Also varied settings in graphics
config.  GTR still works fine.

There is a program that completely uninstalls starforce drivers, if that's
what you have to end up doing.  I'm not sure what that will do to GTR.  My
guess is you'll have to reinsert the disk and it will reinstall the drivers.

You might try that.  Where this utility is, I don't know.  But I know it
exists.

Whatever the case, your system's video drivers probably need to be flushed
out, also.  There are tools that get rid of all vestiges of old drivers.

Those are the first two things I would do, if you want to run the demo.

Best thing to do is avoid another Simbin piece of trash. Bin indeed.

Avast was causing the problem for me. Disabling it worked straight away.
Never had the same problem with GTR though.

Wait till the game is released without starforce then download it.

Its almost as if that's what the developers want you to do.

Read the demo readme, it tells you what file to run to remove
Starforce.

Avast Anti Virus. Disabled by right clicking on the Avast icon in the
system tray and selecting stop on-access protection.

Not exactly helping you but anyway - running 6600GT (ASUS SLI) with 7.1.8.4
driver. GTL demo w/o probs, GTR also still OK. XP Pro  SP2, no other funnies
installed (Daemon, etc.)
