Right-click on Patch_SH3.bat. Left-click on "Run as administrator."

Ok I just tried what u said @bigwalleye and here's what's happening. When I right click on the patch sh3 batch and left click on run as administrator the patch comes up saying it can't find a compatible version, but when I don't right click it does say it found a compatible version but when I try to open the patched sh3.exe it still says ," you can't open this file, you may not have the right permission,". And the picture for the patched .exe Isn't the big red SH3 it changes to a paper icon. What do I do?

Why are you trying to open the patched sh3.exe? It's an executable, not a data file. You run it. You don't open it. And there is nothing in the very clearly written instructions provided by h.sie that says anything about opening sh3.exe.

Is the patched sh3.exe in the same folder as HsieOptionsSelector.exe?

The only other thing I can recommend is to refresh everything, start over, and carefully perform each step.
