What's this about starforce in Vista ?

One thing they did in Vista is they changed the method of pathing to user
profiles.  I expect this is going to freak out more than one program.

Not to mention it probably breaks about every corporate installer on the
planet that doesn't use meta commands (i.e. %userprofile%).

I've never seen cracks for GTR or GTL. You sure you aren't talking about
about mounting .iso's and then using Star***?

Starforce is dead anyway. Every title released that uses it now is
cracked right away.
