As promised, I re-installed Ahnenerbe Widegui Final mod with the generic mod enabler to stock SH3, as before. It includes two files, d3d9.dll & d3d9 (a config file apparently). Both files positively installed within the SH3 directory.
Initialize game with SH3 Commander and the resulting error message appeared: "Can not initialize 3D engine"
Removed both d3d9 files, and then removed them individually; and restarted SH3. Game boots up all three ways with the mod but I could tell that the screen was cut off along the top and on the right side making it unplayable. But, the mod did install.
I changed screen ratios with all available ratios (7 of them) on my laptop from 1366 x 768 to 800 x 600 and also changed between "maintain aspect ratio", "scale full screen" & "center image".
Result: Mod does not work on my setup.
Any suggestions?
