Windows 7 problem

11-02-09, 09:12 PM

So, what's the recommendation?

Inplace Upgrade to Windows 7 with my current version of SHIII already installed (problem free) on Vista?

Or, Wait for SHV, uninstall SHIII and Starforce, Upgrade to Windows 7, Install SHII & SHIII Combination (No Starforce), and finaly, install SHV?

Just use the no-cd crack for SH3.

It's already authorized.

That would be a 3. option, but I already own 2 copies.

It's just a question of whether the Starforce copy will have to be replaced with my newest Non-Starforce version. Like most people, I'm not a fan of doing extra work, if avoidable. The newer version is for when the extra work isn't avoidable.

I recently bought this copy of SH3. It is vista friendly and patched to 1.4b. I installed it outside the Program Files and installed GWX3. Up to now i have encountered no problems.

Is this Vista 32 or 64?
Vista 32 seems to be ok.
It appears to be 64bit OS where the Starforce problems start.
I eventually went back to my old pc (XP 32) to continue with SH3
