Thank you, Blitzkrieg

Blitzkrieg,

Thank you for your very detailed instructions in the sticky threads for how to do a basic install/reinstall of the stock game. I tried earlier this evening to do it from memory [several years old now] and encountered errors. I knew enough not to start the game with the disc in the drive. I patched the game and installed the cracked files, but still no luck.

Then I read your meticulously worded instructions to the letter and then created a desktop shortcut to the patched sh3.exe file, crossed my fingers and clicked, and it worked!

I can't recall from years ago if I ever ran the 1.4 patch as admin and in XP SP2 mode, but I did this time. Anyhow, the game loads, and rather quickly since I have an SSD hard drive.

Now, on to installing Living SH3 and other bits and bobs. A hearty thank you, sir, for those instructions. I thought I was an old SH3 installer pro, but what used to work no longer does. I am glad to have read your up to date procedures.
