SH3 on Windows 7 Beta Problems

SteveW1 · 01-10-09, 08:43 PM

Hi has any body here managed to get SH3 to run on the new Windows 7 Beta yet as i'm trying to but having no luck, I think the Starforce protection is bugging out on the new OS.

Any hints or ideas would be appreciated.

Edit: Well looking further into the problem it seems that it is Starforce that is the problem after finding the version number and comparing it to driver versions on Starforce's website it seems that any version before 3.5 will not work on Windows 7 so thinking that I've got an original disc and cannot get SH3 to work other people with original disc's are going to have the same problem when Windows 7 is officially released.

Where did you get Windows 7 beta ?

From Microsoft - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/default.aspx

It's available to anyone.

It's available in 2 versions 32 bit and 64 bit, I'm running the 64 bit version so I'm starting to think that's where my problem lies with SH3.

The 32 bit version to download is 2.43 gb and the 64 bit version is 3.3 gb. Make sure you write down the activation key they give you before you download or the copy you download will only last 30 days.
