I don't think uninstalling again and reinstalling will help...UNLESS...I didn't reboot after installation and before the patch. I just went right to the patch installation and then rebooted. Could that be it?That is what I do, though I'm not running Windows 7. I install the game, run the
StarForce driver removal program (just in case), delete the unnecesary DirectX install files copied to the BD folder and the Starforce folder/dll, install the patch and reboot.
I doubt it because I was trying this before the patch, before the reinstall, and it failed to run in exactly the same way...Before the 1.49 patch, in Vista/7, wouldn't the game just keep giving a message that you needed to reboot, since the copy protection drivers can not install (due to changes made in how they were handled by Windows)? Maybe Windows 7 improved support for older drivers, or handles that in the compatibility mode...
