If you downloaded the game from here it is already patched and has no starforce protection, so the after-process hinata told you is pretty useless as it has already been done on this VS version
You should try to re-unpack once again the version uploaded here and see if it runs, just don't forget to apply the Win XP SP2 compatibily mode in case you have Windows 7 or more If you still have problems make a check on your pc and see if you installed accidentally the starforce drivers, in that case remove them
