Hello guys...

I've been reading how to install SHIII on Vista... and looks like most of you have it running now...

I dunno what Im doing wrong, but its just not working for me.

First off...

My system is Vista 64, with 4 GB Ram and a ATI 2600HD VidCard. I have the DVD US Version

Now... I installed SHIII to the Program Files (x86) folder first. I got an error that reads:

"Protection system, This application can only be launched from Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP only."

I followed the recommendations in this thread and I ran as Admin and in XP Compatibility mode. No joy.

Then... I uninstalled the whole thing and installed in my user folder in a GAMES subfolder. Still the same...

Please help... I miss my game
