At the risk of being a "Me-too" post, my patch/modify procedure has failed, and I can't interpret the failure note from Bill Gates....
My trusty Compaq CQ-60 laptop is running Windoze 7 Ultimate, 64 bit. I've still got my disk from when I bought it in 2006, and it's the same disk that runs fine on my XP desktop.
I ran the procedure from the forums referencing uninstalling SH3, using the StarForce removal tool, re-installing without running the game, patching with the 5 files mentioned.
The game runs the opening screen and movie, then the whole bar graph that says it's loading. Then I get a panel that says something similar to "Silent Hunter has failed..." and the following details:

This might as well be Sanskrit or Aramaic to me. Does it make sense to anyone here?

FWIW, I've gone ahead and ordered the patched/SF-free SH3/SH2 combo from Amazon through our forum (hopefully the $1.50 premium will help out, in addition to the modest donation I put in last month).

I thought I was better at computers than I apparently am.
<sigh>
Thanks yet again,

I'm told that two things can be reliably predicted to fail with increasing age. The first is memory. I can't remember the other right now.
