Hello!

I'm having some trouble. I've been reading about subs, and I'm dying to play my old SH3 with the Grey Wolves mod.

I have Windows 7 and an old DVD version of SH3.

When I try to run SH3, I always get this message:

"Protection System: Error: This application can be launched with a release version of Miscrosoft [sic] Windows 95 OSR2.1/ME/NT 4.0/2000/XP/ Server 2003 only."

I have uninstalled and reinstalled at least 4 times now, trying different things to no avail.

I understand the old version has a protection system called "Starforce." However, whenever I run the Starforce removal tool, I get a message saying that no drivers were found.

I tried Heinz1's 13 step process to the letter, twice, and I get the same message about the version of windows.

Any ideas? I know I could just spend $10 on Steam, but, I bought this game already, and I'm a poor man.

(Question: It shouldn't matter that the game isn't in Program Files (x86), when I'm on a 64-bit system, should it?)
