1. Downloaded GWX Onealex Edition 1.52.7z
2. Extracted it to my C drive. So the path was C:\SH3. (NO, I did NOT extract it on top of my existing steam SH3 path. The Onealex is extracted to it's own separate folder)

3. I then ran MultiSH3.exe as per the instructions to ensure the save games are not conflicted.
4. I went and set all of SH3.exe, JSGME.exe and SH3Cmdr.exe to run in Win7 compatibiulity and as administrator.

And here is where the problem started. The installation instructions told me to "Launch the game using the SH3.exe shortcut to create a save folder."

However when I launch the SH3.exe file (the one in the onealex path at C:\SH3 - NOT the steam version) both intro movies play fine, but after the 2nd intro movie the following prompt appears:

I have no idea how/why this happens, as this will not occur when I'm using my vanilla steam version. So whatever it is, it must be with the way the Onealex mod is set up, because otherwise my system is perfectly capable of running SH3.

However, in case the details of my system have anything to do with it, here is my dxdiag (see in the spoiler section):

A kind soul suggested to me via PM to lower my refresh rate.
Unfortunately, I already tried doing that (I found this suggestion previously made by someone some time ago) but did not get the issue resolved.
