Hi guys

No its not an ATI thing only.

I have a running copy of SH3 + GWX 3.0. on a Windows 7 32bit system and I got this error suddenly, when I decided to update my graphics drivers.

I have a Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 card in my rig.

When i first installed Windows 7 (32 bit), Windows provided me with some graphics driver on its own.

SH3 worked fine

Yesterday I tried NVIDIAS version 196.21 for WIN Vista and WIN7 and immediately got this error with SH3 not starting (3d engine not running - or similar)

I got rid of this driver again and let Windows 7 again look for it via Windows update (as I had done during the original setup of Windows 7) and now it works again.

Hope this helps some folks here.
