SH$ and Windows 7

I have Win 7 64 bit Home Premium, and have had no trouble whatsoever. I installed on a 2nd hard drive to avoid the UAC problem, and at the very least recommend installing outside the "Program Files" folder rather than turning off UAC. After all, it is part of your security system.

No problems with Win7 Pro, 64-bit. As suggested above, do not install in the default directory. I made a new directory named C:Games/Ubisoft/... and it went in just fine. If you already had an install, you should first not only delete all files for SH4 in the default directory, but also the SH4 files in your "Documents" directory. The only crashes I get now are for trying to use time compression too close to a harbor while attempting an external view of some kind. It seems to overload my twin SLI ATI 5800 cards!
