Thank you very much for your help!

<edit> I did a search on "starforce" on my PC, but nothing comes up. I don't see the word "starforce" anywhere on the Windows XP Pro 64 Edition box or associated paperwork.
OK, let's put it the other way round: If you have to put the SH 3 disc into the drive to play the game, you have starforce.

The "msinfo32" execution error" could mean a driver error, starforce installs starforce drivers. So this could have been an explanation.

When you do a fresh install, make sure, everything from the previous installation is deleted. The SH folders, the registry entries, the SH folder in "my documents" and starforce, of course. There are some tools available.

Have a look at this one: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=160118

Starforce could be found here:



Do you have to type a serial in when you install the game >>> Starforce!

XP 64 is like a diva, but it is worth a try; I found it really fast, SH 3 ran like hell on it. Finding drivers can be hard...

When exactly do you get the message?
