Tiny Update:

Programs and processes called "sh3.exe" do not always point at our favorite sub-sim. I did a bit of research and found that it could refer to:

-The main game exe for the PC version of "Silent Hill" horror-adventure game.

-A relatively new Microsoft Internet Explorer update client file.

-A network component file for use in Window CE service pack.

-A handful of various other software-related programs used by 3rd Party Windows developers.

Gah!

I suspect that, as I run my PC on "Paranoid-Maniac Security Levels"...something in my OS is tagging it as a security risk. Apparently, the I.E. file is a common target for security threats. I must track that down and figure out how to handle it, I guess.

At least I can play, now. (Sadly, I now have to tell SH Commander NOT to rollback on exit, as it only recognises the "sh3.exe" name. I now have two copies of it, one renamed, in the game directory. So I run SH Commander, tell it to run the game, it writes the files it needs, then as the standard file won;t run, thinks the game exits. Without auto-rollback, it leaves the setup correct. Then I run my renamed file and play. (*grumble-grumble*)

That'll get me by untill I can really fix the issue. (If possible.)

Thanks for the troubleshooting help guys! :salute:
Hopefully, anyone who has a similar issue can use what was learned here!
