need help kaleuns!

Ahoy kaleun's!

I dont know where i should post that... Sorry if i chose wrong forum... Ive got huge problem and i want to ask you for help. Im after format C: that means i had to reinstall all drivers etc. I also reinstalled my sh3. Game starts well, i see demo movie, it loads, and when i reach main menu i see that:




I played sh3 before format without problems. Im using sh3 + gwx 2.0 + das boot mod for gwx 2.0. I run out of ideas what can be wrong... I reinstalled my graphic drivers, installed other one, than i checked if it will work on sh3 1.4 without gwx and other mods(no effect) at least i installed naked sh3. Every time the same problem... If anybody knows how to slove that... THX A LOT!

That kind of carp on your screen is usually a memory problem. Try re-installing your mouse driver. If this doesn't fix it, after the game starts, alt-tab to desktop and check your task manager to see what is using all your memory.

Definitely memory or graphics driver related.

Go to Control Panel>System>General tab and check the machine is recognising your memory.
Do the same for the graphics drivers, but go to the Hardware tab then the Device Manager section and compare your drivers version with whatever the latest online version is.

The only time I have experienced something like that was when I was running my graphics at like 16 bit and should have been running at 32 bit...something like that. I do not remember getting the 'multiple mouse pointer images' but the rest of it sure looks quite familiar. I changed to the 32 bit and it corrected it immediately.

First off, update your windows to the latest version.
Seccond, run Gameshadow (That installs with SHIII) and have it look for the latest drivers for your video and sound cards.

Hi do you use K-lite mega codec pack? If you do then uninstalling them should fix that problem. It did at least for me.

Glad your sorted

Codecs are vitally important where graphics and sound applications are involved.
