reinstalled sh3 , now can't run the game

pkpowers · 12-19-09, 12:10 PM

Sh3 used to run great for me, but now after reinstall try to start game and get a pink spotted screen that turns to solid green and have to Cnt alt del
to get out of it. SH4 does the same thing now.

have tweaked video card= no luck

specs win xp sp3 , gateway p4 2.60gigs, 2 gig ram , nvidia geforce 6200

looked for old versions of folders and jgsme but not on system

updated video driver = no luck
went back to driver when games worked = no luck

also battle of britain 2 and falcon 4.0 alled force work great

I have done a forum search but no luck either

need help to play again !!!!

thanks

Hi; did you recently update your Nvidia drivers? I was unable to play with my GTX 260 until I rolled back the drivers to an earlier version.

rolled back driver to original ; still have a green screen then a fatal crash

Had that once (9600GT) after updating drivers... And I also reinstalled the game and found that it wasn't the problem. Then I got pissed and just cleared the graphic card and all it's drivers to re-install the damned thing and it worked. Never understood what had gone wrong though so it may or may not fix your problem. I was going to recommend you use the Driver Cleaner (www.drivercleaner.net) tool but just realized it ain't free anymore so I'd suggest finding an alternative... Or hopping by your favorite torrent search engine to see what you can find

Are you using Nhancer or a similar program?

What resolution are you trying to play at?

Also, are you using a widescreen mod or a custom resolution?

pkpowers · 12-19-09, 11:28 PM

not using nhancer or any other program

running at 1024 x 768

not normal rez , no wide screen

........reinstalled video card with original driver, no luck ; downloaded newest drivers ,,,, still have a green screen and crash after copy protection check

Just reinstalled another ubisoft game , pacific fighters , and it works great

still waiting for an answer ; the only difference I can see is I'm running sp3 now on xp
