Yorktown_Class · 08-02-08, 09:32 PM

Any one know if these two will work with Vista 32 bit AND 64 bit Vista?

I have a copy of both,and was thinking of trying it out...Thanks

Both games will work with Vista 32bit, don't know about the 64bit but can't see why they shouldn't.

I run both SH3 and SH4 on Windows 2000 Professional and runs great

I can confirm that both SH3 and SH4 run on Vista64 too.

SH4 without any problems -i n case of SH3 however it depends on the version you've got: With or without Starforce. In the latter case you need to do some additional fixing.

hi all,

currently sat at my mates pc, which is fitted with Vista 32 bit. We are trying to load SH4 WotP onto it. We open the program and get the games intro video (zerrr gut), only, once that is finished, to have the game trip out and stop. We are then greeted with an error message that says that Windows had to close SH4 for some reason and that it is trying to suss out the problem.

It then says that there is a problem......duhhh vista

What would you guys suggest is wrong? I have no idea (SH3 on XP man) and thought I'd search around and see what other people have experienced.

all the best

Matt

I tryed it on 64 bit,the game installed fine,but when I go to play it,that thing that pops up that checks the disk,Star something,can't remember the name,says this software only runs on XP/2000,something along those lines

Starforce. Sounds like you've got an older version of SH III. Newer version don't have it. Check this thread for details: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=105144 .

I can't even play it on 32 bit,it says you must have admin rights to use this game,starforce is getting in the way,is there a way around this?

The game installs just fine,it just won't let me play it.
