It would be easier if you could list the specs....cpu, RAM, graphics card etc.

You got a screen resolution of 1024x600. SH3's minimum is 1024x768. Therefore you have about 172000 pixels less then SH3 expects. Besides using a different computer, an external monitor is your only option. Don't want to sound negative, but it's possible that even with a monitor the notebook could not provide the resolution you want. Check before buying one!

Interesting...but does SH3 work? I could imagine a lot of reasons to crash if it is told that there are 768 lines, but 168 do not exist...and how does the game look? I calculate that every 4th or 5th line is not shown?
I just tried get the answer myself by resizing a screenshot to 1024x600. It looks stretched, blurry and blocky but it's certainly playable and better than nothing.
If SH3 runs stable, Congratulations!

Check the Windows 7 thread, and update your drivers. Other than that... it should work. Is it fully patched to 1.4?
