can starforce drivers affect videostudio?

[russian_bear]

hi guys, forgive me if this has been mentioned, this is my first post.

i have videostudio 8 and have been using it for a while, i do small editing for my dads business but all of a sudden the program will not start up, what ever of the two options i choose at beginning, it just hangs with one of those send/dont send windows errors.

i bought colin mcrae 2005 and it had starforce drivers, i have heard nasty things about starforce(dunno if its true) but its the only thing i can think of that would suddenly make videostudio just not work, ive tried repair installation and a uninstall/reinstall and still nothing.

in case u want my specs for some reason, amd 2600+ 320gb disk space 1280 mb ram, geforce fx 5700 ultra
