i get the immpression from the last part that the graphics card fitted when i got the compter was not set up correctly.What do people think?

I'd say that's a "no kidding". You need to make sure you have the latest drivers from ATI (for Radeon video cards) or nVidia (for GeForce cards).

Hi Abbafan,been following your saga in attempting to get SH3 up & running.One of my computers has almost the same spec's as yours with the exception of the video card ,mine is a geforce 7800 gtx 256mb & 2gb ddr system ram.I,m a little confused as to which video card your running is it a gf 6200 or a gf 7800?Either way both those cards should be able to run SH3 including GWX V 1.03 if set up properly.I would open the case & check for looose connections & if your video card is properly set & the fan is working.If so I would go to the Nvidia site & download the latest drivers for your card.I noticed your monitor setting is 800x600,I would reset it at 1024x768.One final question do you have any other high graphic content sims? if so do they run ok or is it only SH3 thats giving you problems?

First of all set bios to default & test incase overclocking is causing a problem, & get rid of any backgroung running programs, especially since you only have 512mb to play with!
if there are still problems the 2 most likely things I can see that may be causing the problem:
1) Ram, could be faulty but certainly need 1gb, I would take your old 512 out & replace.
2) Video card may be faulty, have you got another card to test with?
Good luck!

I have
2.4 (800 mhz) prossecor
p4p 800 deluxe - motherboard
geforce 7600 gs 256 ddr
2 giga ram - dual chanel

The game runs fine
