I'd rather not have to build a new system for the game, but is there something I am not doing to make it work on this laptop?
Did you install the Direct X from the installer? If you have a DVD, it is on a separate folder. Sometimes the game still need some files still from directx 9C while an operating system has newer direct X.
Your system is more powerful than what was available when SH4 came out, but, IIRC, most of the SH series says that laptop graphics does not count as an acceptable system requirement.
