At first dl these two files:

Then do the following [the correct order is important]:
- uninstall SH3 and delete all related files and folders [program folder & savegame folder]
- extract SH3 RegClean archive and execute the included *.exe. After that a reboot will be executed - don't interrupt it
- install SH3 [don't launch it]
- patch it to version 1.4b and launch SH3 for the first time [you'll be asked for inserting the serial/key, after that a reboot will be executed for installing the likely obsolete starforce drivers included in 'sh3.exe' v1.4b]
- when windows has booted extract StarForceDriver Update archive and execute the included *.exe [another reboot will be executed for installing the hopely latest starforce drivers]
- when windows has booted again SH3 should work now [launch it - if SH3 starts without reboot --> install GWX]
If this doesn't work I'm afraid the latest starforce drivers are too obsolete for your brand new computer. Then remove the DVD recorder [power supply & IDE/SCSI] and try again - maybe starforce drivers don't like it.
That' all I can do for now

Many good suggestions here. 
But if this dont work you can allways try to contact starforce by an email and explain your problem, then they hopefully will send you a new code.
Ive had similary problems before and i got respond whit in an hour, but that was for a year ago when the game was released so i dont know how much support they have nowadays for the game. |
Well, guess it may be time to contact Starforce (anybody know their home page URL??) - following the above process step-by-step accomplished nothing
I still can't figure out why the dang thing worked fine with the fresh install for my GW 1.0x install (first thing i did after building the new PC), but then refused to work with a fresh install to prepare for GWX. Absolutely nothing changed between the time it was working (last thing I did was finish my patrol and return to port so I'd be ready to start a new one for GWX) and the time I started the fresh install process for GWX, so this has me really buffaloed
Thanks for trying to help folks - looks like it's about time for radical surgery or something
[edit] managed to find the StarForce site and sent them an e-mail - will be interesting to see if I get any sort of useful response.
