SH3 start up problem

comunit · 09-03-09, 06:07 PM

I don't know if any of you guys ever had this problem, I've played SH3 on my laptop before, (Worked Fine). But now after I installed it this time it say's SH3 has encountered a problem and needs to close. I don't know what causes this problem, I have some idea. Do any of you know how to fix this problem?

No, cannot help you. But answers will come ... just wait.

I am running SH3 on my MacBook Pro 15". Works perfectly.

The only solution I can think of, is uninstall the game via the DVD, then run regvac and ccleaner, to clean the registry.

Good luck!

Leftover registry entries possibly? Ccleaner suggestion above looks like a winner to me.

Yeah It might be Registry error's. But I contacted Ubisoft and they said the problem might be background program's runing.

Do asearch for "sh3" in the windows search box and delete every instance. It worked for me, but I had to do it twice--some of them suckers were hidden away.

Hope this helps

Yeah I'll try that, I cleaned the Registry stuff out but the same problem keeps occuring

I typed in Silent Hunter III into the folder and File name and Author and from boxes in the Windows Search area. Right away it say's nothing

I think I found some of those hidden files one of you guys was talking about, I'll see if it works

comunit · 09-03-09, 08:57 PM

It didn't work, any other idea's?

comunit · 09-03-09, 08:58 PM

Which is bad for your computer.

Well if you have any more problems, let us know. And Spike is right, just deleting them right there is bad for your PC. You need to uninstall the game, then delete what is left over unless it's a saved game (doesn't matter what game) you want. Then, type in regedit (what I do for Vista) in the startbar, or click run and type it in and then delete whichever folders are left and reinstall.

It's best, you have the Silent Hunter III 1.4b [Retail] if cd and [Digital] if you downloaded. http://www.ubi.com/US/Games/Info.asp...wnload&dcId=63

I'm glad you got it working again, lets hope it stays that way!
