Reinstalling SH3 after a few years

Hi

I'm trying to reinstall SH3 - dusted off my DVD, patched and installed GWX. The reason I'm able to play again for the first time in years is because of a new pc

But I hope that isn't going to me my undoing - as it's now Windows 8.1 (64 bit)

I'm getting the protection system error when i launch the game. I've installed SH3 in d:\games folder so shouldnt be an issue with that. No starforce issues - I never had that on the DVD version I bought. And i've tried setting compatibility to Windows XP service pack 2 and 3.

Hope someone has the answer!
