the starforce site says it works, but it doesn't....

I was in the great northwest last week, and there is every strong talk that Google is thinking on comming out with a OS for coumpters sometime in 2008!!:p :p watch out Bill!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:

Hasta la vista, baby!

Ok. Here goes.

Start with a fresh install of SH3.

Install the SF driver removal patch, restart computer.

Install the new SF patch, restart computer.

SH3 works, but can't be patched. Something is wrong with my campaign file, so no patch, and no GWX.

What a long day.

Why only have one when you can have both?

Because if you purchase an upgrade version of Windows Vista to upgrade XP, you will no longer be able to use that version of XP. Either on another system, or as a dual-boot option. The key will be invalidated, preventing activation.

mmm Not quite true, I got the upgrade disk since it was half the price as normal vista. It asks you for a XP disk to confirm you have it, BUT it also offers you the option of a full install, Hence I now have a Duel boot system with my old XP and New Vista so i can check games and drivers as it goes, at the mo not many probs and oh yes, Check my new post as i have discovered how to install SH3, patched to 1.4b and with Sh3 commander and GWX running, it looks and Runs great.

cowboy, trying your method now.
