You need a dll file from Kegety( I think): d3d9.dll
http://files.filefront.com/SH3+Mod+D.../fileinfo.html

For Windows XP SP2 users:

We're not finished yet. In order to get Kegetys' DLL to work, you'll also need to install Microsoft's Windows Application Compatibility Toolkit (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro...y/default.mspx) and perform the following procedure to customize it for SH3:

* On Windows' Start menu, select "All Programs/Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit 4.0/Tools" and run the Compatibility Administrator.

* When the program opens, make sure "New Database" is highlighted under "Custom Databases", and click the "Fix" button.

* In the "Name of program to be fixed" box, type "SH3". Now, click the browse button, and select the sh3.exe in your SH3 install directory. Then click on the "Next" button.

* Under "Operating System Modes" select "None" and click the "Next" button.

* In the "Compatibility Fixes" box, check DelayDLLInit, and click the "Parameters" button.

* In the "Command Line" box, type "d3d9.dll" and click "OK". (You can click the "Test Run" button to make sure it is working). Click the "Next" button.

* Click on the "Finish" button. Then click the "Save" button, name it "SH3", and click OK.

* On the "File" menu, select "Install".

* Close the Compatibilty Administrator.

* Enjoy SH3 in high display resolution.(after setting your related d3d9.cfg cfg file to the new higer resolution)

I tried it and it seems to run fine but the fonts on the map seemed to be a bit off and OLC GUI mod doesn't work well with this mod so I got rid of it.
You do however must get rid of starforce copy protection program from your SH3 instalment before attempting the above procedure and you do this by downloading the tool provided by the official starforce site. Good luck.
