one thought that crosses my mind is moddifying the attributes of all game files right after instalation to be read only (when the game works), and letting any save/dynamic files that the game creates stay without the read-only part. And if that fails i can always try installing the patch,... 20mb dl (i'm beihind a dial-up)

i'll update the starforce drivers and edit this post with results.

Edit:

updating starforce drivers has no effect, removing starforce drivers activates a reinstall of starforce drivers, resulting in a consistant crash to desktop at 50% mark when loading the main menu
