Help, please.

Well, I'm getting this wierd issue. Whenever i try to run the game, on the end of the security system check thing, it says install successful, reboot required. I am running windows 7 with run as administrator on. Is this a starforce thing or something?

have you already read this thread:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=153900
a lot of people report their experiences with win7 in there.
IIRC there's also an install-routine proposed.

Why don't you install the game starforce-free?

Have a look here:

See if these will help you. Also, do not install the game into your Program Files.

Ah, then where do I install it? Because all my games (before i got the new computer) were installed in there.

simply create a new directory, just as

X:\games\ubisoft\sh3

X = chosen hard-disc

"hey, I'm due there on my next patrol!"
"Be careful, its full of ZzZzZz..."
"What Rya..... ZzZzZz"
Unbeknownst to us, somebody slipped some sleeping meds. whoops :oops:.

WoW.... Another Annoying and stupid issue... Why did i get win7?

Anyways, this one is that at the end of the main loading screen, the game shuts down and i get the SH3 is not responding message....
Now im confused. I put my screen resolution at 1024X768 and i have Starforce turned off... But the game is still in program files... what do i do? take it out of program files?

[ryanglavin]

Anyone throw a bone? I'm real stuck.

[KL-alfman]

I don't know if simply moving the folder will help. all the adresses might be wrong then. but I know nothing about win7, still am a winxpsp2-type for the gaming.

what I remember is, to not install in program files and to run SH3 as admin.

[ryanglavin]

Well hell time to uninstall.

Now where'd i leave the crown... its been a long day
