Anyway, after hours of trying, from this site's instructions and from Ubisoft's site, I have been unable to install on W7 Home 64b.

Mainly I have installed, patched. Can not install NoDVD - not allowed, even though I am admin. Also can not install elsewhere apart from X86 as clicking on browse kicks out error. Starforce removal also ran.

System. Intel i5 Quad
ATI 5700 1 Gb
Ram 4Gb

Any help out there? Frustration is running high. Either you gain a new member or the dog gets a new toy!!

Thanks.....
I've never attempted to install a version of the game with StarForce on W7 before, I purchased a new game disc.

Sooooooooo presuming you have successfully removed StarForce.............install to X86, the game should create a Ubisoft folder and all the programme files can be found within.

Right click on the SH3 exe in said folder (the one on desktop as well) then click on Properties then the Compatability tab then tick Disable Desktop Composition.

Hopefully you'll then be good to go.
