SH3 mission load screen freezes, yet game continues loading

SH3 doesn't work.

Whenever I load a mission, the progress bar advances a little bit and then immediately freezes...but the game continues loading, as after a minute or two the in-game sound starts up, and the game responds to my keyboard commands...but I'm left staring at the frozen loading screen. Alt-tabbing doesn't help. This also happens with the Museum, and I assume with the Campaign as well.

I'm using a Dell Inspiron 1501 AMD Turion 2.0 ghz running XP with 2 gig of ram and an ATI Xpress 1150 video card.

SH3 used to work, before I decided to install a new hard drive and install XP again. The Direct X tests are fine in dxdiag, and other 3D games like Red Orchestra run without problems.

Does anyone know how to bring my beloved SH3 back?

Thanks
