Don't go together.

An hour after I installed Chaos Theory, I was finally able to play it. When trying to start the game, the screen would go black like it tried to load a movie, then it would crash to the desktop with an error message.

I tried so many things. Uninstalled, reinstalled, disabled secondary monitor, disabled virtual drive, about 20 minutes of searching on google, taking out the intro bik movies. Finally, I found that someone had posted about the demo and Windowblinds fooked it for him, so i disabled WB and it worked no problem.

Just in case anyone else here might have the same problem.

myself and a few others on the GameFAQs forums have, so just letting people know to watch out. WB and the demo gave me no problems at all.

I had probs with the SC CT demo and windowblinds on one pc as well, spotted it was causing probs almost immediately and disabled which fixed the prob for me. I tryed it on another pc though and it didnt cause problems so could be related to specific setups.

With all of the latest Securom 7 titles it was causing major hassles for me had to uninstall it completely to get those games to work - Constantine, Project Snowblind and Champ Manager 5. That was tested across multiple pc's with windowblinds being shown to cause problems and the games only working with windowblinds fully removed.

Probably the fault relies in the crap (starforce).
