Some queries about Cossacks II and Starforce

Hi,

I 'm thinking of buying this game and I've read through all replies to this thread, but I have a couple of questions (because I don't want to give money away for a game that may cause me a thousand problems), if someone is kind enough to help me
1. If I install this game and after some time I decide to uninstall it, will this Starforce protection be uninstalled too or will it remain in my system?
2. While I have the game installed (but I don't play it), is it possible that this Starforce protection affects the way other applications (eg. MS Word, Photoshop or any other application) I launch funtion?
3. From what I 've read here, there are two ways in making a duplicate: Either by using this Carbon method and mounting in Daemon Tools or Alcohol. I didn't quite understand, which dlls or other stuf do I have to disable in Alcohol or Daemon Tools in order to mount the duplicate without problems? Could anyone explain in some detail? And further, does anyone know if this method is possible to be applied to a laptop (since I am using one)?
Second method, using an external USB drive. I would like to ask, if I want to burn the images, so I have a duplicate of the game in CDs and not in my HDD, what is the right way of doing it (if any?)? Btw, I tried to duplicate an older game (the Punisher) using Alcohol, but when I tried to burn the images, after finishing burning and I insert it in the drive, it appeared like an empty disc with no content in it, but showing 640 or sth MB disc occupied, does anyone know why I got this blank - full disc instead of the acual burned image? I note that I didn't have the same problem when I converted it to .ISO file using UltraISO. So, if I try and convert an Alcohol file for Cossacks II to .ISO file will I be able to use this duplicate disc or the Starforce Protection will resurect?


Thnx a lot in advance
