I never understood that what is this Starforce hysteria. I got many games using Starforce copy protection, and I never had any problems with my computer + laptop. I think if you have winxp [pro] with all updates, starforce wont cause any problems ever, at least i know many people with the same updated system like mine, they bought starforce protected games, and they never had a problem at all...of course they got different hardware.

In very short and concise sentences:
Oblivion crashed every 15-30 minutes.
Read a FAQ recommending uninstall of SF to fix Oblivion.
Uninstalled SF.
Oblivion does not crash.

In an even shorter description of events:
Oblivion crashed.
Uninstalled SF.
Oblivion does not crash.

Yep. And it's not just interfering with games : SF has also caused a lot of people's CD/DVD burner drives to be unusable, and also opens holes that compromise security of the computer, allowing viruses to slip in and _then_ be undetectable by anti-virus software because of StarForce.
