Oops...having problems already :(

Ok, I anticipated running into problems in getting SH3 working with Vista. I've installed the game, patched it all up without installing GWX and tried to run it (as admin too).

I get the usual message that this game can only be run on Windows 95, 2000, XP or Server 2003 machines blah blah. I have tried running the Starforce update tool/patch.....but its telling me it can't find any starforce drivers to actually update.

Now after reading through the sticky on getting SH3 working with Vista, after updating Starforce, you have to uninstall SH3 and reinstall, patch everything up and try to play. But if I cannot get the Starforce update running properly in the first place.....what can I do to get SH3 running with Vista??

Cheers chaps any help is greatly appreciated, as i'm salivating at the mouth to play the new GWX3 Gold
