Windows 7?

[rcflyertim]

Ok..I'm new to the forum and I am not very savvy with computers. I'm an older man who just wants to play silent hunter III again!!! I purchased this game way back 05 and played it on my Windows Xp system from the CD. 7 years later.... I can't find the CD so I purchased a copy from Ubisoft website and the download was installed. I have a new computer running Windows 7 64bit and I had troubole at first getting it to load so I came to this site and saw where I needed to turn down the resoluiton. Good info on here. Now I would like to add the mods that you guys are talking about on here espicially the grey wolf add on. Here is where I am running into problems. When I go to download from the grey wolf site I get like 8 files that need to download. When I go to run the exe file I don't understand where the files need to go.

WELCOME ABOARD!

All you have to do is have the files in the same folder and run it. Once started it will ask you where you want the file to be installed. Just direct it toward your SH3 game folder and it will do the rest.

Welcome aboard rcflyertim!

As Sailor Steve said, have all the files in one folder and run the .exe.

Guys I had in the past a working SH3 on my Vista and now Im having difficulties with my Win 7 OS. I did not use the so called patched version of SH3 but its from a standard box; and I always patched it myself using the patch from the greywolves site.

I did all the stuff except the screenres setting; cuz I had no probs with the wide res screen earlier.

But my main problem is; whatever I try to do; I still getting that protection system that "this application can be run with a release version of MS Win 95 98 etc etc....only; Its a small grey popbox.

Well; I thought if I can run starforce remover OR updater I should be able to get rid of that error but when I run those 2; it says : "there are no drivers to remove OR there are no drivers to update.

Any solution to get rid of this protection system message?

my solution?

W7 ult X64; I7,8GB, P8H67 Mobo (2011 build)
E:\ drive, not C:\ drive
SHIII 1.4 nocd + GWX + resfix

exe= run as admin, run as WinXP SP3
launch game, observe taskmanager = sh3+rundll.exe
wait...
30secs, game launches.

Check the loading instructions on the GWX website (click on my sig) and first ensure you are doing it correctly.

If you believe you are, come back and post your system specs and describe what precisely you are experiencing.

im running win 7 x67
intel i7 930 processor
nvidea GTX 460

D:\ubisoft\silent hunter 3
