Fresh Install: "Protection System has detected an unhandled exception"

Drebbel · 06-05-06, 08:03 PM

After not playing SHIII for a real tall time, and after reinstalling windows, I decided to install SHIII again and test the NYGM mod.

After reinstalling the fresh SHIII from the DVD I rebooted and wanted to run the game. But I get the following error within a second after clicking the SHIII desktop short cut or the file sh3.exe

I get this error weather the DVD is in the drive or not.

Installing the official 1.4b patch did not change anything.

- I run Win XP Home - SP2, all updates installed
- Newest drivers for mouse/video/audio.
- No beta software running except Skype 2.5 and IE7
- System runs very stable with all other software
- Norton internet security for firewall and virus scanner

Since the error message mentions the "protection system" I tried disabling Norton Internet Security. This did not solve anything.

Clearing out the rest of the system tray, and deleting many other processes, did not solve anything either.

So if anyone had an idea with what approach I should tackle this problem , or maybe even has a solution, then please help me out

Almost forgot: The detection tool runs OK

Thanks in advance
