Have you checked that your system meets the minimum spec for the game? SH IV is very "hungry."

If your set-up meets the specs, I can only suggest a total uninstall and a full reinstall:


I would also check that you end all unnecessary processes and switch off anti-virus if you use it before running the game.

Start with the basic "out of box" game and see if it runs. If it does .....

Download and install patch 1.3 and run the game. If that works install JSGME and then mods, checking that the game runs with each one.

OK , when you installed the game it said do you want to install the files + direct x files + some other thing and game shadow . Make sure you tick everything to be installed except gameshadow if you dont want it . Install the game , dont run it , then apply the patch then restart the computer .

Minimum/Recommended specifications
Graphics card
128MB DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics card with Pixel Shader 2.0 I think here is your problem . I think GeForce 4 graphics card only supports pixel shader 1.X
