Hope this is of help (The 'Revival' issue is available from several UK online sources - Google it!!)
Incidentally, the PC system requirements on the game box list windows 2000/XP and Vista.

I got mine off of steam for $3. No CD, No DRM, and fully patched.

Mine is also from Steam, and I've had no issues. They let you backup the game if you want, and mods are no problem. I may look into getting a non-Steam version eventually, so this info is of use. Thanks.

Not to start a debate, but it should be mentioned that many consider Steam to be DRM, just a mild easy-going form of DRM. (As you need to connect to play, including offline mode initially.) So depending on how hardcore you are about DRM-avoidance, it may not be something you want. Myself, I don't mind it, and can recommend it.

You are able to disconnect the online requirement permanently also.....I do when playing certain games.

Well I have messed around with this install of SH III (original DVD) for about two hours now. I sure hope this work around NS stickied works.

Does GWX Gold work with the steam version? I have been messing around all weekend to try to get SHIII, on of my favourite games, to work on my new Windows 7 OS computer without the Starforce garbage, but to no avail. I'd rather pay the three quid for a new version.
Oh, and as it is my first posting on this excellent forum, ahoy me mateys

Addendum... Ignore my last post. I have found a thread addressing that very question. Thanks anyway, Shipmates.
