When playing my resource-hungry space sim I shut down explorer.exe.
That will work for SH3 as well, provided you can get to Task Manager-Processes before the game intro fills the screen.

Click on SH3 to start it, then press Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up Task Manager
Open the Processes tab and find explorer.exe
Highlight it and then click on 'End Process'
come out of Task manager.

You will now have no desktop or taskbar or explorer running in the background, so resources are freed up.

When you have finished playing SH3 and come out, do the three keys again to bring up Task Manager,
click on Applications
then New Task,
write explorer.exe in the box ( after the first time it will already be there or in the drop down menu), and then click OK, and your desktop and taskbar will be returned
