SH III on a 64 bit Vista

[Ed]

I recently upgraded to a Gateway 7026 with Vista, 64 bit, 4 GB Ram with a Nvidia 8800 GT.

I cannot get SHIII to play. I get this msg:

This application can be launched with a release version of Microsoft Windows 95 OSR2.1/98/ME/NT4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 only.

Information: You will need this data when contacting customer support 3.4.71.19;3002

Anyone know what this means or how I get SH III to play?

Appreciate your help !

It runs fine on my computer 64bit vista. BUT you need the discount version sans starforce. You can get the starforce one to run, but it requires black magic

It's a starforce bug.

You can search the forums for possible solutions or buy a copy of SHIII without starforce.

Welcome, dudes.

I recommend uninstalling both StarForce AND SH3 and reinstalling, but when it comes up for StarForce to be installed, cancel installation of starforce and continue.

Upon doing that, since I believe SH3 is still DX9, set compatability for SH3 for WinXP SP2.

That's what I've done and never had a problem :yeah:

There's no black magic involved. Starforce requires a driver update to run with Vista. I had the same problem.

You should be able to find the one you need there. By the way, I would reccomend the discount SHIII anyway. No need to play with Starforce. You can pick one up for very cheap.

oh, the black magic was required before the patch. When I tried to install the starforce version, it would crash on the starforce installation. So when you went to install the SF patch, it wouldn't install it because "there's no SF installed.":yeah:

Go with the non-SF version anyway.:up:

I had the same issue with Win 7 until I went out and bought a new copy of SH3 without starforce protection.
