Dear Sir,
My computer is a Dell XPS M1330 (2GHz, 4GBRAM, NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS 128MB), under Microsoft Windows XP Professional 2002 SP3. Hence, I have the recommended specifications and, in fact, the SH3 version 1.4b runs smoothly.
After paging through a most impressive Manual for your GWX 2.1 expansion, I have rushed to install it following your instructions and no debug text file GXEInstErr.log file was produced.
However, when I run SH3 GWX2.1, after the nice GWX wolf scream, it comes the original SH3 game trailing and, a loading horizontal red bar which takes less than 3 minutes to complete. From then on, I can hear beautiful music on the background, and see a mouse arrow over a completely black screen. I am able to move the mouse arrow, which leaves a trail. But nothing else happens, exception made of a YES NO after pressing the escape key. So, with the beautiful music still going, I can return to Windows.
Two questions:
1) Is there something else to do for the SH3 with GWX 2.1 expansion to run?
2) Having uninstalled the whole SH3+1.4b+GWX2.0+GWX2.1 package (using the uninstall DVD command, deleting every SH3 folder, and running Uniblue Registry Booster) I installed again SH3+ 1.4b. Unfortunately, the result is not as it was originally: I get now the same black screen described above. Any hints?
Thank you very much for your time.
