kiwi_2005 · 05-27-07, 02:02 AM

Installed SH3, GWX, played same nite happily singing "Its a long way to tipperary" tune....

......Few hrs later

WARNING RANT IN PROGRESS:
Restart PC and Vista went mental. No loading into windows, drive making werid noises, after what seem like friggin hrs i manage to load up vista in Safe mode with Command prompt option, i deleted SH3 restarted and PC is back to normal, restarted pc couple of times to make sure and its sweet as. It seems Vista Ultimate dont like Starforce yes i did update SF to the latest without it Vista wont load it. The SF update is a load of crap it practically ruined my windows.
I could go back to winxp but why should i when everything else works. Damn it.

Unless theres a way to run sh3 & gwx without that SF i'll have to miss out on this.

Oh well least i can say i have tried gwx

End of Rant.

*Any solutions welcome as im not giving up yet*

Reinstalled SH3, added 1.4b patch, this time i add the 1.04b fix while giving starforce the finger then GWX and gwx1.03 patch. Loaded up GWX. played game for a while, went out restarted pc, loadup GWX, played around in game again and restarted pc - no errors on restart. I think i can confirm the VISTA v Starforce issues are fixed.
No problems.
