Help, please.
 
Well, I'm getting this wierd issue. Whenever i try to run the game, on the end of the security system check thing, it says install successful, reboot required. I am running windows 7 with run as administrator on. Is this a starforce thing or something?

have you already read this thread:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=153900
a lot of people report their experiences with win7 in there.
IIRC there's also an install-routine proposed.

Why don't you install the game starforce-free?

Have a look here:

and also have a look at this:

See if these will help you. Also, do not install the game into your Program Files.

Ah, then where do I install it? Because all my games (before i got the new computer) were installed in there.

simply create a new directory, just as

X:\games\ubisoft\sh3

X = chosen hard-disc

We pull a few back,
"To the Halls of Moctezuma! to the shores of Tripoli!"
"hey, I'm due there on my next patrol!"
"Be careful, its full of ZzZzZz..."
"What Rya..... ZzZzZz"
Unbeknownst to us, somebody slipped some sleeping meds. whoops :oops:.

WoW.... Another Annoying and stupid issue... Why did i get win7?

Anyways, this one is that at the end of the main loading screen, the game shuts down and i get the SH3 is not responding message....
Now im confused. I put my screen resolution at 1024X768 and i have Starforce turned off... But the game is still in program files... what do i do? take it out of program files?

ryanglavin 01-30-10 07:53 PM

Anyone throw a bone? I'm real stuck.

KL-alfman 01-30-10 07:56 PM

I don't know if simply moving the folder will help. all the adresses might be wrong then. but I know nothing about win7, still am a winxpsp2-type for the gaming.

what I remember is, to not install in program files and to run SH3 as admin.

ryanglavin 01-30-10 08:16 PM

Well hell time to uninstall.

Now where'd i leave the crown... its been a long day
