SHIII 64bit Vista installation nightmare

silentwayIII · 03-24-09, 08:37 PM

Got a new system two days ago with Vista 64 bit OS already installed. I was very worried about whether or not it was going to let me load SHIII even though many of you have sucessfully loaded SHIII. I installed SHIII and got the following error message in a Protection System dialog box :

"This application can be launched with a release version of Microsoft Windows 95 OSR2.1/98/ME/NT4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 only"

Could the version of SHIII I have been playing with for three years be too old?

In setting up for the installation I set up a folder (Games2) to install to. There were no error messages until I tried to start SHIII.

Any help on this is really appreciated!
