I wouldn't trust the original version any further than I can throw it.
I think you may be right. I uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled just the basic v.1, applied the no Dvd fix, and started the game. It runs just fine! However, When I tried to apply the 1.4b patch it wouldn't let me do it. Won't recognize the SH3.exe that the "fix" installed, so I didn't even bother to try the GWX-Gold application. This whole thing stinks, so I'm going to rundown the Amazon version with 1.4 already applied and go with it.

This has been a huge waste of time and mental energy. But I'm stubborn enough not to want to give up until I get it running on my PC.

BTW, I was successful in getting the resolution set to 1920x1080 by going into the Main.cfg and resetting the X and Y values. But trying to change the max TC beyond 1080 didn't work.

Thanks for the added info!
