If some want the files spoken by She-wolf, you can ask me. I kept it safe on my hard disk, just in case ubi never give us such tool ..

SH4 runs fine but just isn't sh3 with GWX...
BTW, running the 64 bit version of win7, could this be the problem?

Ok I got SH3 / GWX 3 to run on my windows 7 (64 bit) system.

Here's how I did it, not all steps I took may be necessary but this is what worked for me so I'll stick to it.

I don't think I have the starforce DVD, but installed the "certain software" anyway.

I ran the setup.exe on the DVD in compatibility mode Win XP SP3.

I did not install to the default location but to a different drive.(D)

Than ran the 1.4b patch setup.exe in compatibility mode Win XP SP3 and ran it as administrator.

Than I copied certain software that will remove the starforce (as she-wolf suggested) to the installation directory.

Installed GWX 3, compatibility mode Win XP SP3 and ran it as administrator.

To start the game I run SH3.exe in compatibility mode Win XP SP3 and run as administrator.

All works fine now, including SH3 commander and the resolution fix.

BTW, what a joy to play sh3 on my new pc, loading times are 25% compared to my old system.
