SH3 and Vista 64 (yeah I know)

What service pack are you running with Windows Vista?

I only installed Silent Hunter 3 on my gaming PC the other night and I am running Windows Vista 64 with SP1. I also don't do any Microsoft Updates as this is my dedicated gaming machine. So no need for updates.

It installed perfectly and has been running perfectly since.

This is the directory I installed it to.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Games\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\

Plus I have always had UAC turned off as this kiddie prompting stuff really annoys me.

Here's what I did for my installation.

I installed the game from the original DVD and to the location I posted above. Once the game was installed I updated it with the 1.4b patch.

Once the patch was applied. I then created a shortcut on my desktop from the SH3.exe file. I then loaded up JSGME and applied the NO DVD patch. After making the MOD folder of course and copying the NO DVD patch folder into the MOD folder.

Once this was done. I double clicked on the desktop icon and the game loaded and played perfectly for me. Then I exited the game and installed all my mods.

BTW are you using the drivers that came with your computer? Or did you install updated ones from the manufacturers website?

Have you looked in the event log to see what caused the crash?
