sh3 problems

I'm having a similar issue: Clean install of Sh from disc, and patching up from UBI's site. The disc install starts fine, but the patch causes it to not start at all. Both from the icon and from shoving the disc in to get the start screen.

Note; I just did a factory disc reformat, with the full WIN-XP update up to this point.

I think the issue must be in the WIN-XP updates killing the launch.

Looking at the system processes, there's several instances of SH parked doing nothing, and one eating up 25-35% of cpu time.

Also, while this is going on, it locks up trying to exit to restart (soft boot works) and will not manually stop the processes.

I really think it might be a Win XP SP-3 issue, or the latest upgrades, such as the one that includes "indexing". (whatever the flying fornication I'd need that for).

SH-3 and -4 ran fine before on this system a year or so ago, so that's my only theory.

Anyone friendly with UBI can ask?
