You can't kill someone in a studio.

Status : Offline | What specifically crashed?  rop to desktop, BSOD etc... The version of Starforce that shipped with the game is fully supported by XP, Vista and above requires a NoCD patch.
I have it running under Virtual PC (XP SP3) as well as native Windows 7.

No patch is required under XP, only Vista and above will need it. This is because the publisher doesn't provide a means of updating the DRM software.
To bypass DRM all you need to do is locate and replace a set of files with the updates.
Google The Black MirrorNoCD. You'll find it.
Edit -
Try applying the patch - The Black Mirror Patch
I don't recall having to apply it under XP, but it's worth a shot.

Status : Offline | I didn't - I let it install... If your PC has issues with it, install the update patch (it addresses Starforce).
