Did you try updateing StarForce?
 I remember some posts about that being a MAJOR PITA! (Good Lord! Now I have to buy ANOTHER copy of SH3!) Newer Releases don't use that Virus and come already patched to 1.4b |

are you sure you opened the command prompt as the administrator? (right click and then select "run as admin") If you don't it just says access denied all the time. DEP has proved a hell of a problem for me on vista, I have to make sure its disabled in order to effectively run many games, KOTOR I & II, Hitman games, SH III, infact almost anything pre vista. Progess is being made in the areas of irritation and stupidity by microsoft at an alarming rate! I'll be glad when I get employed again and can afford an external ethernet HDD so I can run Fedora 10 for my general PC usage and get away from windows! |

Umm, I'm pretty sure the Protection Error is talking about the fubar StarForce protection system.
As yet there is NO compatibility fix for Starforce & Vista. This was admitted by the SF developers. There is only one way to allow SH3 to run on a Vista system which has issues with SF but that is not allowed to be linked to here on Subsim. Needless to say, you will have to find a way to run SH3 without the Disc in the tray.  I've said enough *poof*.......

As long as You have the Old Disc,
It will not work with Vista, Only solution is Purchase the Protection Free Version of Silent Hunter 3 here on Subsim, Its very cheap, All the latest Discs do not have Starforce protection, as Ubisoft stopped all association with Starforce, Years ago, Avoid the headache, Purchase a New Disc

Here is your SF driver for Vista: http://www.star-force.com/support/sfdrvup.zip
Install the game, but don't start it, install the new SF drivers, restart your computer and finally start the game - it should work now. If you want to remove the old SF drivers first, here is a removal tool: http://onlinesecurity-on.com/downloads/sfcdrvrem.zip
