Windows 7?

sounds like a 32 bit OS as the problem you described happened to me once. just something you might want to look into even though you solved the problem.
another issue might be firewall/AV software.

YUP! Sorry for me I am on a Vista 32 bit operating system. So enjoying the great mods avail for 3.0 GWX is out of my reach. But playing GWX 3.0 without mods still keeps this old guy alert.

I followed everytning that hienz1 wrote all the way to the hacking and it works. You have to take your time and follow his steps thoroughly.

I can confirm this is working. Follow his steps carefully and u should be fine.

Thx.

I used steam before, but i downloaded the reloaded version.

One question though: I've got a screen resolution of 1680*1050, can i put these resolutions in the main.cfg and the d3d9.cfg files?

thx

Love this game and just put it back to my pc. Tried all the resolution fixes and still couldn't make it work on 1920x1200. running win7, nvidia 8600GTS. Could run on window of 1027x768, when switch to full screen it crashed. Any idea?

Hello!

I'm having some trouble. I've been reading about subs, and I'm dying to play my old SH3 with the Grey Wolves mod.

I have Windows 7 and an old DVD version of SH3.

When I try to run SH3, I always get this message:

"Protection System: Error: This application can be launched with a release version of Miscrosoft [sic] Windows 95 OSR2.1/ME/NT 4.0/2000/XP/ Server 2003 only."

I have uninstalled and reinstalled at least 4 times now, trying different things to no avail.

I understand the old version has a protection system called "Starforce." However, whenever I run the Starforce removal tool, I get a message saying that no drivers were found.

I tried Heinz1's 13 step process to the letter, twice, and I get the same message about the version of windows.

Any ideas? I know I could just spend $10 on Steam, but, I bought this game already, and I'm a poor man.

(Question: It shouldn't matter that the game isn't in Program Files (x86), when I'm on a 64-bit system, should it?)

Same here. Three years' absence and reloaded SHIII into my Windows 7 1920x1200. No luck. Tried all the fixes. Works on 1027x768 though. Just annoying having to change resolution before playing. Plays OK and have run GWX, LSH, WAC that I downloaded back in the days when I was running XP.

I'm running SHIII 1.4 from a Focus distributor group disk that I bought when last in the UK in 2010 and which doesn't have Starforce in it. I've been thinking about reloading without that windows codecs, though, just to see if that might do the trick.
