Just a idea given to me by a MS technician.

I still can't get SH3 to run a campaign. So... I'm rebuilding my PC and have an idea to throw out there. Take a HDD you're not using or if you have a 2T HDD or larger, install XP on a partition along with the OS you're running now. Dual boot setup or another way that will let you run SH3 installed in XP. A MS tech said it is possible to do and SH3 should be playable again. Seeing SH3 was built as a 32 bit game and you have 32 bit XP there should be no problems running SH3.

And if you still have a HDD with a working 32 bit XP installed and SH3 on it, run it from there as a 2nd HDD or as a Dual Boot setup.. I bet there won't be a problem running it. Probably XP Pro will work too as it did before.

Once I get this PC redone XP Home is going on my 2T Seagate HDD in second partition along with 8.1 on the first partition. I had no problems with SH3 running on XP before, so I don't think there should be problems with it back on XP.
