I installed silent hunter 3 about a year ago onto my system... now I can't play several different kinds of disks...

can play audio cds
cant play the following
-empire earth2 ( could about 3 months ago, last time i tried)
-cd/dvd driver disk
-big problem with playing movie dvd's
-fear(will sometimes play)

c&c:generals runs fine as well as amyriad of older games
oblivion runs fine

various other titles work but some do not... it just says there is no disk in drive

i am trying to install x3:the reunion now and I know it is a starforce title but it still won't work... i have since installed the removal tool and searched for starforce files and registry keys and can't find any...

my cd-rom is a sony dru-510a

any help will be aprecciated as to how to fix my drive...thanks!
 
shoot! @%#&#*(#*(#&#*^*#^*#^*#^

now its saying I need to reactivate windows due to hardware changes! this is stupid!!! please someone help!
 
sounds like a classic case of StarSuck. Worst piece of software. Ever.

Unfortunately I don't know what you can do to fix it.
 
I'd say its time to..:

a.) backup EVERYTHING IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!
b.) run spyware/adware/virus checkers
c.) reinstall Windows minus the offending game

..but that's just me.
 
well I reactivated...updated firmware for it... still won't play dvd's or some games... this sucks!!! i think its a clean install time...grrrr
 
I honestly believe that StarForce has damaged your hardware. My dvd burner died a couple weeks after I installed Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, and my burner was new!
