Help needed! the game dont start after patch v1.4

Hello to everyone

First i have reformat my hardrive and reinstall SHIII (US-DVD) bough two year ago. Before patching to v.1.4 (US-DVD) i run the game and everything goes perfectly well. It is just after i patch to the latest version that the game won't start anymore. I try the solution proposed by StarForce you know the utility "FrontLine Drivers Update Tool" it did not work ether so i want here at the forum and try everything from post related for patching problem (install, reinstall, deleting the files in "my document", defrag, deleting only SHIII regedit file and so on...) nothing work i have always the same problem the game won't start after patching . And before you ask me i have all the lates drivers install (driver for DVD-RW, graphic card and motherboard...) and it is not a problem whit my SHIII dvd because before my reformat i was able to play the game with GWX v1.03.

Ho i and almost forgot i run on win xp my pc is an Intel-Pentium 4 3.2 ghz, i have 2 gig of ram and my graphique card is Geforce 7900 GT/GTO.

So if anyone of you have not in answer for my problem i'm thinking maybe i have to purchase a download version of the game. so What do you think of this solution and what will be the best site to purchase it?

Thx to all of you who take the time read this long post and i hope you will be able to help me because i'm desespareted in need to play GWX v 2.0

So long

Rogue SH3 files can get stuck here and create a similiar prob to what your saying especially if doing alot of uninstalling reinstalling for some reason this install temp file dosnt always delete the TEMP install files etc

After a windows upgrade just this week gave me this prob

C:\DOCUME~1\Your comp name\LOCALS~1\TEMP\ etc etc

scope it out you never know

Theres a dozen posts with these probs so do a search theres no one all fix solution

Hope this helps

Stuka,
Have you completely uninstalled everything first?
then reinstalled from zero?
