CTD while playing SH3

I just realized have you tried running in off of C:\ ? in a different folder then program files. I only just thought of this after re reading your initial post.

Yep, tried that too. Installed directly to C:\SH3
No dice...

Have you tried cleaning the registry manually?

I could not reinstall SH3 into my Windows 7 recently and what helped was actually using regedit and search function. I found an SH3 line there that automatic registry cleaners had not found.

(I also found a line about Civilization IV Colonization and deleted that as well, as I had not been successful in reinstalling that game).

That helped with both games - and now I'm knocking on wood and stuffing my pockets with hare legs in hope that the games might stay operational on my computer for awhile. The biggest reason I haven't bought a faster computer is the hassle of trying to make SH3 etc essential programs working on the new one. But that is another subject.

Try manual editing if you haven't already

I have. Ran automatic Ccleaner and manually edited all SH3 entries through regedit.

Guys, trust me, I have tried EVERYTHING I can think of....

No help

I sat down, told the baby to shut up for a minute and did some memory digging in my brain. I remembered that one necessary step in getting both of those games that I mentioned running was according to this thread:

I had to make the invisible folders seeable and the I had to do something in the install-shield folder. What it was I can't remember anymore.

Hope this helps. I'm 80 % certain that this is your system's problem as well. Good luck!
