I looked in the 'device manager-view hidden devices' and the SF drivers were there. The only issue they caused with my system, was that some of my older games refused to run and I had to disable the SF drivers through the device manager to make them work, then re-enable them to play SHIII. This is from my own experiences with both the older release of SHIII bought about a year and a half ago, and the latest release (Ubisoft 'exclusive' range for XP and Vista) bought last week. My older games will still not run with the SF drivers enabled, but it is a simple matter to disable/enable them through the device manager and restart.

the version I have now from Amazon

I have a version without serial too. But I cannot find SF Driver, can you please post a screenshot.

Did you possibly not remove the SF Driver with the driver removal tool ?
