SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - Windows Vista: Installing SH3 and Patching 1.4b

I'm having similar problems to other posters who are trying to install SHIII.

I get the 'protection' error on launch. I've attempted to update and also remove the Starforce software but it doesn't recognize the fact that there is such a thing installed.

Messages are as posted previously by other posters.

I've changed all the exes I can find in the SHIII folder to be run as an administrator as well. Not found where starforce is run from yet.

I've managed to get most other games to work in Vista but have problems with Ubi Soft games (IL-2 as well is still in a state of not being able to be launched).

Update: I was able to install SH IV without any problems.
