I am trying to install pippa funnel stud farm inheritance and take the reins on my computer for my cousin
I installed take the reins only for windows to refuse to boot up because the starforce DRM system had broken things (thankfully startup repair fixed it)
I then contacted starforce who said I need to install the game restart it as asked but press f8 on startup and Disable Driver Signature Enforcement and then I update the drivers
I did that but now windows keeps saying when it starts up that the driver has been disabled because it is not compatible with windows 7 and when I try to play the game it says it needs to restart before I can play the game - every single time
I told starforce and they said they cannot do anything and I should contact ubisoft
I contacted ubisoft and their response is that they cannot do anything and in order to play the games I bought I have to install windows XP

can anyone help me fix this?
 
in that case run the games installer in windows xp compatability mode. it should then install properly...
drivers can be installed in compatability mode its just not recomended as system stability cqan be effected. but in this case the starforce driver is unlikely to care.
