Newbie help please?

Hi all, I've spent quite sometime and umpteen attempts at installing this SH3 game, but cannot get it to run
I'm not a computer expert, I know just enough to keep going, so can you go easy on the techno stuff please?

I'm running a laptop i5, 8gig ram, nvidia geforce graphics on Win7 Professional.

I've run the SF removal tool, rebooted.

Followed the guide through step by step, NOT clicked finished, run the v1.4 euro patch. Then clicked finished, but not selected run on the last screen.

Closed everything down, right clicked the game, selected xp compatibility mode, run as admin.

Then tried to run the game. It won't run and shows error about win 95 & xp. (sorry can't remember the rest of it).

I've also changed my resolution down and tried that too as I found that just before I started writing this.

I appreciate this is probably the most simple of things to do, but I'm obviously not that bright

Any help and guidance would be gratefully appreciated, just be gentle
