SH3 and SH4 are basically the same game engine, but Steam 'updated' their install for SH3 not too long ago to be usable in Vista, but SH4 is still the same. LSH guys include a modded SH3.exe file in their install, which has appropriate settings for the 'modern' Windows. Most SH4 mods do not include the executable, other than maybe KSDII... change the settings in SH4 though, and it should run fine. The difficult part is the experimentation. That is part of the realm of old DirectX 9 game in the 'modern' OS though. Windows wants you to upgrade to newer games, and the old game manufacturers do also... hence Ubisoft hasn't touched SH4 since 2008...
