SH3 start up problem
 

:salute:I don't know if any of you guys ever had this problem, I've played SH3 on my laptop before, (Worked Fine). But now after I installed it this time it say's SH3 has encountered a problem and needs to close. I don't know what causes this problem, I have some idea. Do any of you know how to fix this problem?

No, cannot help you. But answers will come ... just wait.

I am running SH3 on my MacBook Pro 15". Works perfectly.

The only solution I can think of, is uninstall the game via the DVD, then run regvac and ccleaner, to clean the registry.

Good luck!

:salute:

Leftover registry entries possibly? Ccleaner suggestion above looks like a winner to me.

SH3 Start up Error
 

Yeah It might be Registry error's. But I contacted Ubisoft and they said the problem might be background program's runing. :salute:

Do search
 

Do asearch for "sh3" in the windows search box and delete every instance. It worked for me, but I had to do it twice--some of them suckers were hidden away.

Hope this helps

Yeah I'll try that, I cleaned the Registry stuff out but the same problem keeps occuring:salute:

I typed in Silent Hunter III into the folder and File name and Author and from boxes in the Windows Search area. Right away it say's nothing

I think I found some of those hidden files one of you guys was talking about, I'll see if it works

It didn't work, any other idea's?

I thought I got everything

You need to provide more information. What version of Windows and is it 32- or 64-bit? To get the error message text go to the Windows Event Viewer (Right-click the desktop 'My Computer' icon and select 'Manage' from the context menu). Look in the Applications errors log. Most likely it's an error with MSCVR71.dll (the Visual c++ runtime library DLL) and will be a problem with the patching process.
