I purchased a copy of ‘Darkstar One’ on close-out at Target (for $2.48) and finally tried to install it tonight. During the install on Windows 7 b7077, I was prompted with a ‘driver incompatibility’ alert:
Apparently, the copy protection used by ‘Tages Protection’ is not compatible with Windows 7.
Running the program produces an error:
Odd- an incompatible driver for Windows 7 is actually a form of copy protection?

Got this nasty thing on my computer now and it wont go away, keeps popping up when I insert disks, restart my machine. The uninstallers on tages website don't work as they're not compatible either. Have you found a fix?
I haven't revisited the DarkStar One issue yet, but I found a similar issue with '1701 AD' and I was able to find an updated version (x64) of Tages to resolve: http://broo2.blogspot.com/2009/05/1701-ad-and-tages-cp-issues-with.html
