It did run before you put in a new video card?

It just freezes? No error message what so ever?

It ran fine on my old comp. with a Geforce 7800.

It never ran on my new comp. with the 8800.

No messages nothing. the selection screen comes up the mouse pointer is froozen and i can't get out of the game and return to the desktop. I have to press the off button and reboot.

Mhm.. that stinks.

Did you try running the config tool that comes with SH3 and turn everything off and run it on bare minimum stuff? Also, you can try tweaking it in the nvidia console.

And just for kicks and giggles.. I would try turning off the sound card and see if it runs.

If it locks again try this sequence, might get you back without rebooting:
Alt-Ctrl-Del
Alt-E
Alt-E

In the SH3 folder on you hard drive, there should be a folder called configuration or so.

i'll give it a try but I'll need specific instructions on what to turn oof and what to leave on.
Nvidia console didn't work.
Soundcard idea I'll try.
