Help!! Trying to get SH3 running

Welcome aboard....

Firstly, can you describe exactly what happens...Does SH3 start up? Does it crash in game? etc.

The first step is to remove all traces of SH3 from your HDD.

1)Unistall SH3
2)Delete SH3 folder in My Documents
3)Open Regedit + Search for all SH3 related entries + delete them.
4)Reboot
5)Defrag HDD (optional but recommended)
6)Install SH3 & Apply Patch 1.4b
7)Fire up SH3 & check all is ok
8)Install Mod of choice (if you're using one)

This is the standard proceedure.....

Have you experienced any problems in any other games? Possible hardware failure?
