Stubbs the zombie useless in Vista

Is there a way to get this working in Vista ?
I asked a question of the makers, "Aspyr" and got a polite "Couldn't give a
toss" answer.
If this is the reaction of the game makers, is there any hope of ever
playing this game on Vista ?

You're SOL. Stubbs the Zombie uses Starforce for copy protection.
Starforce is incompatible with Vista and none of the Starforce games work
under Vista.

What's SOL ???? The Sun ? Cheers, mate - praise indeed !
Irritating, some stinking game protection stopping it working. So, in
essence, you're honest, you buy the game, and the sh*t they put in the game
buggers it up.

We call Starforce 'Starfarce' ;-) And we have boycotted anything that uses
it.

use it ? I'm wanting to play now

This is *false*. I play Silent Hunter 3 which uses StarForce, I just had to
install the driver for it from

Re: Stubbs the zombie useless in Vista

Not much use if I cant find a driver for Stubbs, though.
