Well my aim was to install SH3 (i delete it couple months back) DL GWX 2.0 to see how great they say over there its going to be

. If the graphics are the same with maybe extra clouds and artists impressions of a realistic Uboat where the AI now will be that great with AWESOMENESS that they will detect you 100miles away well enough said. But anyways I want to try it out cause i did like GWX 1.3. Problem is SH3 will no longer load up. Clean install, on a formatted HD running Vista, and game ran fine on vista last time i had it on, patched to 1.4b, Starforce vista patch installed, vista drivers update meaning graphic card. PC spec: 3200, 2gigs of ram, 7800gtx.
Everytime i load SH3 it CTD with no errors. Have deleted, reinstall 3 times!, even went as far as creating a image as the dvd has a few scratches and installed from that, yep made sure all folders and registry is deleted before reinstalling. Nothing seems to work. SH4 runs like a dream and i know why, cause theres no Starforce protection!!! thats why!!!

. I now am super paraniod and totally convinced its the Starforce protection.

Unless some micrale happens no SH3/GWX2 for me.
Last resort just leave it on, when GWX2 is out dL and install and see if SH3 will load.
EDIT: i just notice this is an old thread and iver already answered in it! lol Damn i hate it when that happens. Anyway hopefully some Vista user might solve my problem
