The tale is quite simple, I had a stroke, a full on stroke caused by a Massive blood clot in my left brain, I was paralysed down my entire right side, lost my speech and the ability to communicate with anyone (Locked In Syndrome) the right side of my face was drooping like a Bloodhounds.
Do I get excused punishment for that?
I got to Hospital within 15 minutes and was given the magic thrombolising drug
but the clot was big, so I had to undergo a series of treatments. Happy to say I made nearly a full recovery, but it took time, I'm 99% recovered, so worth the wait in the end, and here I am, Back!

How old is the CD? If it still has StarForce? THAT could be the problem.
I have a 'Fix' should it be that old.

IV'e checked the CD, I cannot find any mention of Starforce, nor did I see anything Starforce related on loading the game.
There is a setup .exe file and a second file just named setup which is an Application file, these are both for Game Shadow.
If that helps.
Cheers Shipmate,

If you could up load a copy of the sh3.exe from the CD install that I can look at
I can tell you if it's a older version and then send you a proper fix.

Hi Shipmates,
I deleted everything SH3 related from my PC. Then I did another clean loading of the game from the Ubisoft CD Rom, I kept away from drive :C , and loaded it into my partition drive :G.
I changed the compatibility setting on the .exe file to Windows 3 service pack, and am running the game as an Administrator.
I have also added SH Commander as well, with the same settings.
The game would be running perfectly (in 1024 x 786 resolution), one problem, and one problem only Vasily.
Every time I change a screen I get 'Game Paused' and sometimes if I'm on the same screen for any length of time it will go into 'Game Paused' of it's own accord.
You Shipmates have been more than kind with help and advice, can I ask one more favour and see if anyone has a solution to this problem? it's driving me crazy having to go into the menu and un-pause the game every 30 seconds!!!

Any help will be gratefully received, I have made a couple of donations already for the help given, you are all stars!
Cheers, Spurlash.
