Black screen at start up in SH3, Vista 64, same as others...

Hi, I'm kinda new, was here back in 06-09 but my life went nuts... I had to re-sign under new name. I'm Just getting back into gaming & SH3 is the 1st game I want to play again.

I'm having the same black screen after intro movie, then all I get is a mouse pointer & music, same as others... but I can't find the K-Lite Codec Pack or any codec!

I had XP b4 & all worked well with sh3, however I could not get game to install w/vista so I gave up a while ago. I then heard that the SH2 & SH3 combo packs have no starforce BS & works in all windows OS. So I got a copy & was happy to see that it installed into my gaming folder (not that X86 BS). It has file ver. 1.4.0.1 which I found out that means it's 1.4B???

I tried all res from 800x600 on up & no dice. I'm not sure what to do next but I've gone too far to turn away now! I want to try & continue my saved games from B4 or start over if I must. Please help!! (add "puss in boots" face here)

Thanks
