Windows 7?

[Yavasa]

Hello all,
I am so happy that I have found this thread. As you may have already figured out, I am new and I have a problem running SHIII on Windows 7.

My problem is of a wierd nature and does not seem to fit to any situation listed above. I install the game, apply 1.4b (the correct one), use the no cd/dvd fix. Run the game, I see the Intro and than the loading screen pops up and when it finishes to load it just closes the game and a typicall windows like question is being asked whether to report the problem.

So far I have tried the following to get rid of this problem:
1) set the application to XP SP3 compatibility - no effect
2) tried to uninstall or update the starforce thingy but it says that there are no drivers to remove or to update
3) reinstalled the game - no effect

My windows is x64, I have a mobile Turion dual core 2.20 Ghz, 2Gbs of RAM and an ATI Radeon HD 4570 with 512mbs of memory and the newest drivers.

Help me, please, no I beg you!
