Thank you all for the warm welcome and the advice!

I have made some major progress but I have run up against the "cannot initialize 3D engine" bug. I have searched through the forum and I think I have tried all the fixes except the

"Download Direct x 9 fix."

I can't seem to find a link for this that still works. If anyone could point me to one it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm running an AMD Radeon R7 200 series graphics card on WIndows 10 home.

I'm running SH3.exe as an administrator, I've changed the compatibility to OS 7 and I've switched the graphics card to GPU scaling "On" and preserving aspect ratio, so the Direct x repair seems to be my last option.

Thanks again for the help. Good Hunting all!
