[Sailor Steve]

1) How long ago did you buy this copy? newer copies come already patched.

2) If you've had it awhile, how long ago did you uninstall it? Did you clean out everything in the UBISoft folder? If you don't have SH4 or anything else in there, I recommend tossing out the entire folder. It'll make a new one. Also, did you delete the SH3 folder it created in My Documents? A reinstall requires that all traces of the original be gone.

3) If you've done all that, feel free to tell me to shut up. Or better yet, ignore the old man in the sailor suit behind the curtain.
