I did that with no luck. Then noticed a box unchecked with "show file extentions"
when I checked it, sh4.exe popped right up.
Thank you for setting me on the right course.

Guess I should of mentioned that I use XP.

I love the smell of Win in the morning

Well I got SweetFX running.
I am amazed at the difference, and I haven't got it really setup, Just fooling around with it.
The colors look so much richer and everything seems so much clearer.
I will be dumping nVidia Inspector tomorrow.

Never heard of this sweetFX before.may have to give it a try myself

Yes, SweetFx is a powerful tool. Good tutorials on YouTube on how to use and set up. Look for the videos by "Adipose". He shows what this tool can do by using Border Lands and Batman as examples. You could tweak just about every graphic option you could think of. A word of advice. Turn off any in game FXAA options. In SH4, turn off the Post Process Filters. By using the SweetFx hotkey (forgot what it is) you could turn it on or off at will in game, and see the difference. Also, as far as I know, the tool only works for DX based games, not Open GL. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

It is an image improvement mod, of sorts.
Get it here: www.guru3d.com

Then you will need the SweetFX Configurator, get it here: sweetfx.thelazy.net
I use the "stand alone" version.

Then watch this video as to how to make it work.
Maybe watch the video first and get a sense of what it does.

It really is cool.
